Whether locked or unlocked my car emits a long (about 1 second) beep every sixty seconds when parked. It doesn't sound like the burglar alarm, just a long steady beep. I have no warnings on the instrument panel or PCM and I cannot find any reference to this behavior in the manual. Anybody know what's causing it?

Thanks.

That's a new one

You should make a video of it

Door or frunk not properly closed?
Parking lights or other switched on?
Ignition key not turned to "off" position?

Good thoughts. I opened and closed all the doors, frunk, engine compartment and windows. Lights are set to Auto. Ignition key off.

I'm baffled.

After Joan Alcover's suggestion I went to the garage and methodically cycled the doors, windows, frunk and engine compartment. I then cycled all the switches for the lights: Auto, etc.

Beeping has stopped. That is to say it didn't happen again during the nearly 10 minutes I stood there waiting for it.

All else fails, disconnect the battery for a minute.

I get a beep/sound/burble/gurgle from the engine area after shut down...or sometimes after cycling an unlock/lock - its more of a whirr, instead of a beep, and goes away quickly (under 5 seconds)
