Turbone,
Thanks. The beeping is the same as when you change settings on the computer/clock, momentary and at the same instant that the display changes.
The alternator did just die and was replaced but the flashing/beeping continues.
Today I pulled the cluster and looked at as much as I could (without schematics). Tomorrow I will put it all back together and see. Everything looked healthy. No evidence of heat or weak/cold solder joints.
Thanks again, RW...
