Default That Annoying Beep...Please Make It Stop!!!

I fixed a flat on the rear passenger tire of my 05 sc430. Upon return, there was a loud extended beep repeating every 2 minutes. I read the thread on disabling TPMS, did the fix, (It's true you can do it in less time than it takes to read...) And guess what? The beeping continues...
So then I unhooked the battery- 14 hours ago...
still the infernal beeping continues, inexorably repeating- every 120 seconds emitting a beep that seems to be taking on a more malicious and taunting tone with every cycle... So I got my obdII reader, plugged it in and no codes!
Apparently, there is nothing wrong with the car.
That means my family (and our dog), must be having simultaneous group hallucinations of the same thing!!

Or there's something else that I need to disconnect...
Please help before I shoot my car. I happen to enjoy it a lot and would prefer to resolve it myself instead of the going to the dealer and spending my children's college fund.
The noise is driving myself, the wife, our kids and especially the dog nuts....
Since the TPMS has been disabled and the battery disconnected:
1.Where is the beeper located and how do I disable it?
2. Does leaving the battery disconnected for 24 hours affect automatic systems like windows, or the ECM, etc???
Once a battery is reconnected, what steps need to be taken to restore any programming?

mmmmmm? Interesting. You didn't mess with the seats at all did you? Just curious.

Could be low battery on the TPMS?
