My battery died ~6 months after that, replaced it. The car still does the ding and flash the lights up. Never had any actual issues related to it that I can tell in 2 years of owning it *knock on wood*.Quote:

It doesn't appear to happen when I have my headlights on (or air con), one of the two. So I have load on the system, it doesn't appear to be an issue.
I see...Quote:

Thanks for the reply.
Is the earthing battery cable OK? Its a short cable (10 cm) between the battery and the car chassis.
I had the same issue. For me it was an aftermarket OEX alternator. Issue went away when I replaced the alternator with a Denso. I reported what the OEX was doing here:

OEM alternator is best
Yes, well this was the dealership who replaced it (it died within 3 months of buying the car 2nd hand). I believe they used the OEX one (DXA561 is written on it). So nothing much I can do, was glad they replaced it because the other one was fried!Quote:

At least I finally have an answer, I believe everyone else was leading to the same answer anyways.
If It does cause problems in the future, I know to replace it.. but I suppose in the mean time I can put up with a few dings/noises instead of spending $650.
Bumping this thread.
I have changed the battery and alternator andstilling getting that ding.
Sounds like you replaced your alternator with an aftermarket one.Quote:
