Good Morning Owners,

I have a '22 Platinum. Recently the truck as been playing the low tech 'dot matrix' entry chime sound, the one that kindof sounds like an 80s Japanese car, about 50% of the time on startup. This usually happens if its been raining. This didn't really happen when I first got the truck in late January of this year but in the past two months it is happening now a lot more frequently, even multiple times in one day.

Anyone out there have any similar experiences? Any of the clever owners out there have any thoughts or suggestions? I'd like to troubleshoot this before I raise it with the dealer.

many thanks!

If it's a 22, it's probably time for a new 12V battery.

I mean if you have a 22, I assume you would realize it by now, but pulling into work just now made me realize the only 8 bit sound I've heard from the truck was the parking sensors. Check if the sound occurs in park, if which case it shouldn't be them. Since it only occurs in the rain maybe someone hit one and the sensor or it's wiring are loose.

I have the same issue. I believe it's a 12V battery on its way out.
