E 450 beeps when ignition turns on and will turn off when I turn on my headlights.

This is a Ford Super Duty E450 Triton V10 chassis under my Coachmen Class C motorhome. So this beeping is not my door open with the key in ignition. It is not the seat belt beeping.
It just started the other day when the ignition is on start and when it is running. I turned on my headlights and it stops. I have no idea why and wonder more if it is just ok to always put on my headlights all day just to avoid the beeping or could it be an indication of something I need to fix?When I turn the headlights off it starts beeping again until the ignition is in accessories or out of the ignition all together.. What can it be
Thanks for any help.

Try taking the key out, turn on the lights and then open the door. Is it that same beeping? If so then it is something related to the left the lights on signal. My guess would be one of the light relays is going bad or is corroding a connection.

Until you diagnose the issue it is more than okay to run your headlights all the time. I do it myself as a safety measure. It is easier to see a vehicle with its lights on, even during the day.

That is exactly what happened. so now do I need to change the fuse for the turn signal?

Is replacing a light relay easy? Or should I have it looked at by a mechanic?

Relay swap should be pretty straight forward.
