Are you wearing your Seatbelt,are your doors closing all the way hatchback ajar ? i only ask as these would be the Dinging sounds your having chances are you have a bad door pin switch which isnt closin the loop as for your Check engine light being its OBD1 you will have to run a scan tool to see what the codes are that are throwing the Intermintent check engine light but as for the dinging it sounds like a Door pin switch thats gone bad try that 1st ....and this is not a solution but it will be close to it and also scans arent that expensive and it beats throwin Money at a problem that could be dont Guess there are at least 60 known Faults if not more that can Trigger that light to come on ....Goodluck

You will need to have a OBD II scanner hooked up to it to read the Trouble Code, you can go to Autozone and they will do it for free.

Your best bet is to just pay the ($15 I think it is) to Alldata.com and have all the service information you could every want for every part of the car. I did a google search and trying to find a specific wiring diagram usually takes quite a bit of time. If you have a lot of time to spend, just do a search and sift through the sites one by one until you find what you're looking for. Good luck, I've been through this one before. Used to have an 89 Probe, it was fun except for the speed limiter at 113mph, haha!
