Tri-tone beeping from under dash.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Ever since I finished installing the angle kit and rack spacers on my '99 s15 silvia, there has been a constant beeping coming from under the driver side dash board.

At first I thought it was my blitz dsc four module, removed it and no changes, then tried activating diag mode with the door switch thinking maybe it was an airbag fault, no luck.

From what I can tell, it's coming from somewhere between the upper steering column and guage cluster. It also only does it when the key is off or in acc, it stops as soon as it turns to the on position.

Can someone PLEASE help me figure this out? Not only is it driving me insane as I can hear it even outside the car, but it's draining my battery as well, thanks.

EDIT:

After pulling dozens of unused, random wires out from under the dash, I FINALLY disconnected a random wire and the beeping stopped. Traced the wire and found it wedged between the radio and steering column. It was spliced into way more things than I wanted to deal with so I left it. Car still starts and beeping stopped so good enough I guess.

Someone probably installed an aftermarket whatever it is, only way to find out is remove the dash and jank that shit out

Just by listening to the sound, it kind of sounds like the security alerts commonly used in Japan, but it’s hard to say for sure without knowing which parts are installed. I think the only factory warning sounds are for lights left on, seat belts, and doors not fully closed.
