Is this beep sound perchance the same one as when you open the door with your lights on?

haha yeh thats funny !! nah thats not it ..
its a tone sound, like when u leave your lights on and get out of the car. except its there all the time when the lights are turned on even when the car is running or not .!!
but the sound is coming from a totaly different source !

It's the transformer or whatever for the EL dials making the clicking (mine did the same thing when I didn't have the power running in a circuit). If it's clicking (the little box) I'd say the circuit is being brocken somewhere. Check your wiring (use a multi meter or test light to make sure you've got and earth and lights on power) then I'd be checking the dials, I snapped the plugs on a few of mine by fitting them then turning the plugs at near 90degree angles.

Hope this helps.
