Default Questions about beeps

[HI

I am sorry to say I really don't know too much about my fav car, but I am learning.
Question 1: When I lock the doors that little beep no longer sounds. The light flashes and it does lock. Could it be a fuse? If it is, how can I tell what fuse it is? If it isn't what else could it be?
Question 2: My headlight alarm doesnt go off when it should could that be a fuse? If I leave my lights on and turn off the car and close the door, no alarm. Should I notice I left my lights on and open the door the alarm sounds.. Fuse? or something else??
Thanks everyone!

Oh yeah! All that is one simple fuse. I just replaced it on Titan a month or so back. Its red but at the moment, i can't remember exactly which one it is...

But when it blew, i lost control of my interior lights, my power windows from inside, my alarm beep, my rear hatch, my power mirrors, and something else i can't remember at the moment.

Could also be a microswtich problem. Try the fuse first and see what happens though.

Found this fuse chart to help you out. When its light outside, i'll go double check which one it was that i changed.

Print this chart and put it in your glove box. Much easier to read and you always have it handy. Anytime you have something electrical stop working check the fuses first.
