Since I removed the power & ground wire from the power port to use for the radio interface whenever I turn the key to the on position or start the truck I get a series of 5 beeps from behind the dash, it repeats 3 times then stops. I also noticed that the passengers side airbag on/off light doesn't work, could that be the reason for the beeping?.

No the air bag light is not flashing. Is the air bag warning light in the dash cluster supposed to come on when starting the truck then go out like the ABS light?.

Everything I read said it was a backup warning for when the airbag light goes out. I'll run out and check if it comes on before starting the truck I have a 2000

No the air bag light does not come on in the dash when putting the key to the run position before starting the truck. The airbag off light under the heater controls does come on during that time.

This is true. You won't get rid of the 5x5 periodic beeping until the airbag light in the dash is enabled. After the warning light is working again, it will be on until all airbag issues are corrected - like the passenger airbag indicator light and any others.

5 beeps means you have an important bulb out: like the airbag on/off/warning light in the dash, the airbag on off light in the pass side switch, the check gauge, ABS,  or check engine light bulb are out

It stinks getting old & forgetful. When I made the custom panel for the cubbie for the radio interface & reinstalled the cubbie & the part in clips into I forgot to plug the wire in for the passengers side airbag on/off switch. :crazy Works as it should now. Thanks for the assistance guys.

Regardless of the cause, a happy ending is a happy ending.
