The right direction to point you in is this one:
1. Use VIDA and check for any fault codes. Clear all you find, fix what will not clear.
2. Apply standard diagnostic techniques to determine if any device is consuming power when it should not. This will involve logic, determination, documentation, perseverance, and a dose of experience. And the right tools (multimeter).

Focus on the "beeps every 2 to 3 mins"
Find out what is beeping and why.
If there is no logical reason for the beep then start using diagnostic equipment (VIDA) to determine the cause.
