I hate my dash lights

I got all new 194 bulbs so i put them in get everything in and i think im all done til i see a light socket on the floor so i take everything apart. And notice im missing a light socket and i cant find it so tommorw im going to the junkyard. Any ways now my stupid beeeeeep thing wont shut up the lights are off and everything ill put the key to the On position and it will beep. I turn the car on my inftl light blinks and so does my ses light but the beep still goes and will not go away. Any idea why? could it be something with the computer since i didnt disconnect the battary? any ideas

I thoght that too but i when i bent down the prawn for the buzzer for the lights and turned my car on everything was fine. The buzzer worked perfectly when i bent the prawn back in for the lights is started again. But i think it could be with the key but its jsut werid how after i took out my dash lights this started. My car is falling apart this week. I did how ever fix my blinkers that blinked one time a minute they now blink 10 times a second.

That's a plus. When youre having trouble, one fix is a very good thing. Good luck with the rest. It's been so long since I've had to mess with my car, it's hard to remember all the technical issues and give good advice. i wish I could help more but am glad to not have the problems.

Maybe you accidentally put your "lost" bulb in one of the vacant spots on the cluster, which is completing a circuit your car isn't wired for and it's feeding 12+ to your buzzer. It's a long shot, but it will only take 2 seconds to check, and you have to take the cluster back out anyways.
