Incessant Buzz/Beep

[T R]

I drove my car to work this morning, then an hour or two later got in
to go get some doughnuts and it had this buzzing/beeping noise that
seems to be coming from the area of the radio/CD deck. The faceplate
for my stereo was stolen ages ago, so the deck doesn't work. I pulled
the radio fuse, and the noise persists. Also, the oil and seatbelt
lights are on, even when I have the seatbelt on. Also the brake light
has been coming on intermittently while driving without the P brake
engaged. Also, my low beam headlights ceased to function, both of them
at the same time. The fuses for the L and R lowbeam are good. Can
anyone advise me what has possessed my honda? If its something I need
to take it in for, I don't mind, but if its something simple like too
many beautiful women in it in the past week(yea right!) I'll fix it
myself.

You should tell us the year, model etc.

From what you describe, my first guess would be a poor connection at a
ground point to the body. It could easily explain the instrument cluster
issues, and, since the relay for the headlights is energized from the
switch in the stalk on the steering column it's not too much of a stretch
that the headlights don't work (odd that the high beams would work though...)

I wouldn't live with it like that for very long at all. You're supposed to
have working headlights, and the oil light being on should make you
concerned that you have no coverage in case a real low oil pressure issue
arises.
