i do, but i did not touch anything, ``just imagine forgetting your lights and opening the door, and you hear that long beep, well its the same sound however its very short, like 1 second, coming directly our of the cluster, i just checked my car for codes, and got an evap pending fault, large leak, so i corrected my gas cap and maybe thats what caused it, I'm not sure.

hmm I don't think that that would be an issue...
Have you checked your fuses? Maybe a light is failing on your car?
You don't have TPMS, do you?

It must be your pager, if you still have one

maybe your both crazy :P ok but on a serious note its probably a sensor gone bad. If its not the door sensor it must be the rev indicator, in which case a ghost needs to be tracked down.

Long beep, short beep

Got the long beep, followed by a short beep. Was driving at wide open throttle at the time, and was not near red line. I happened to be making a video of the boost gauge on my GoodBox at the time.

Checked the CEL codes via my Accesport and got:
RKE
P1000

According to this thread, the codes are normal: [URL="https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-trouble-shooting-95/what-troubleshooting-code-244264/"]

Will update if I find any more info.
