Warning sound but no message.

I'm not sure this is the place to post this so if not maybe someone can move it to where it should go.

When I start and drive my Jeep after it's been parked for any length of time I hear the warning sound which sounds very much like it's tie for an oil change or I'm low on gas but there isn't a warning message on the dash that usually accompanies the sound. And when I turn on the turn signal for a right turn it blinks faster than it use to but not for a left turn.

But, only on initial startup, right?

My 2014 does the exact same thing when a bulb is out. You get the "ding" but no message on the dash. If one turn signal is blinking faster than the other then that is the side the light is out on. Just leave that run signal on and check to see if it is the front or rear turn signal.

My 2104 eats left rear turn signal bulbs like candy. I have to replace the left rear bulb about every three months. Odd.... but at least they are quick and easy to change.

Hmmm, this is not normal--time to check out those pesky ground(s), something is causing a surge of power in the filament to cause it to self destruct.

^that^

Could also be a loose or corroded bulb socket or connector.
As far as mine goes, I have replaced 7 bulbs in the right rear tail light assembly since new. (July of '13) I installed a curt class iii hitch a few months ago along with the factory tow harness that came with my Patriot. Since then, all has been good. We'll see. Perhaps installing the tow harness cleared any corrosion in the connectors.
I have checked the harness many times as well as checking grounds. All was normal. No fuses have ever blown. I'm not trying to hi-jack another posters thread.

ive got a 2015 pat sport and I was going down the highway and it started beeping at my with no message, I pulled off, but couldn’t figure out what the issues was. After reading all the helpful suggestions I’m still kinda at an impasse? While I was pulled over I hit the brakes and I could see from the lights shining on the ground that they were both working on both rear sides, I all four of blinker lights, no problem, my headlights, no problem, I have see the brake lights from the drivers seat, both sides seem to be fine, I do know that maybe it’s some thing electrical just because of the problems I’ve been having with my cigarette lighter where it’ll trigger my low tire pressure warning and act funny when somethings plugged into it. But that’s for another post. Are there any specific fuses I can check and replace Or do I just wait for it to blow a bulb out lol

Someone will probably chime in with fuses that could be checked, but are any warning lights on? A bulb out just gives off a single chime per ignition cycle... at least that's what it's supposed to do. TPMS can give off more chimes. I'd take a code reader to it, one that can read the Jeep specific codes.
