ok, it seems most of the time whenever i hit my brakes, the Drivers info center chimes as if theres a problem, but no problem lights up. this has always been a problem, but it is reoccuring more and more often now. it really got worse after i put a new alternator on... it doesnt matter if my headlamps are on, climate control, or radio... Could anybody help? this gets really annoying when driving!!!

Brake fluid level?? Just a guess...

lol, nope fluid is good...

What'* your voltage level whenever it chimes? Don't use the gauge, use a multimeter or a scanner.

it doesnt do it when i am stopped, only when i am going...

Another idea would be to replace your brake lamps (All 4). Possibly one of them is starting to go bad and causing the lamp monitor to momentarily sense a bulb problem.

I had the same problem!
It turned out to be the contacts in one of the sockets was bad. So ended up replacing the socket. No problems since, almost two years

well i'll fool around with those taillight sockets and bulbs... thanks a bunch!

Not sure about the 87-91, but the lamp monitor on my 93 doesn't require the lamps to be on to check them. If I have a taillamp out, simply turning on the car will tell me. I'm assuming it uses a 'tickle' voltage to check them.

This being the case, having it ding when you hit the brakes wouldn't be what I expected of a bad brake light bulb.

My 89 Lamp Monitor would do the beep beep once whenever I turned on the headlamps. And if you watched, the headlamp out light would flash on and off momentarily.
