That's very interesting. If you were missing two caps would it beep twice? If you were missing four caps would be beep four times? Coincidence?

I dont think the # of caps mmissing has anything to do with the # of beeps i was hearing. Coincidence is correct...

jrsamps,

Interested to hear back from you if you do get the beeps I was getting. I dont know how long I was driving without the caps before I started to get the beep sound. Your attempt can probably confirm if the missing caps triggered the beeps. I am not 100% sure, but since the caps have been replaced no more beeps.

Thanks

Dont really know. Car is mainly parked at garage at home or parking garage at work. Its probably kids who take them when I go to the mall, etc. Karma may be coming back to haunt me. Back in the day i would take the metal caps from nice cars to put on my bike.
