Got a new battery, put a tenners worth of jank in it, now bear in mind that the car hadn't been started in 5 years so I was expecting problems started straight up first turn of the key   And I also found out why it didn't start last year I left the earth wire off how embarrasing  
But everytime I put the car in drive or any other gear apart from park it bleeps like when the door is open so you drive along with it like that   Only does it in drive and reverse etc not park though, anyone have any idea's? 1997 P Scorpio Ultima 2.0

I had one of these for 6 weeks till I sold it...  annoying bloody thing...

Biggest issue with mine was god-awful wiring, especially in regards to the engine loom...  Gave up trying to fix it so sold it for spares!

They are ugly cars, but most comfortable i've ever driven and seriously as comfy as the s-class that I sat it at the motor show.

Is tha not a clue.  Car in drive , a door open and a beeper going off.  Does it stop when you close the door, or put the seat belt on.

[Mr Skrunts]

Just re-read what you said.

But check if the interior light is still on

[924boy]

its probably the warning beep to make sure you put it in park when engine off etc. must be a switch somewhere (maybe on selector) that you could unplug/bypass mayb?
