imateo44 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Ok, so I am not sure if it is a horn issue or not, but here goes. I have a 2010 SXT and when I lock the doors with the fob it will honk at me. I make sure that I follow the manual and press the lock with one of the doors open so that it will set the alarm to the on position. But now the past couple of days the alarm wont go off, which is a good think that no one is trying to get into it, but when I hit the unlock on the fob the horn will honk. I figured that I had maybe left something on that was drawing power, like a light or the widshield wiper switch or something that would want to turn on as soon as electricity was pushed through the main harness. So I made sure that everything was fully shut off.... still honked once when I hit the unlock on the fob. So I figured next was a battery issue. Replaced the battery in both of the fobs, as well as checked the battery. Battery in car tested just fine, even under a strong load, but yet woke up this morning and it did it again, as well as when I went out to the vehicle on my lunch. I am out of options as to what could be causing the issue. It is nothing big, but it just drives me insane (kinda like the starter when it is cold) So figured that I would ask on here before I took it into the shop and have them charge me a full paycheck to tell me what the problem is. Thanks in advance for any information. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 check your manual, it should tell you how to lock your car without the horn beeping once.on my 2011 you have to use the on board instruction thur the 8.4 screen to turn it on or off. act i like to hear it beep so i know i did it, but then thats my own thing. also if you had to ask the dealer they wouldnt charge you as the service rep would or should show you how to do it since it is still within warranty. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imateo44 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 no i don't mind that it honks when I lock it.. It is letting out a short honk when I unlock it, and then tonight when I was leaving work, it honked again when I opened the door, and again when I got home and the wife opened the passenger side door with out me even locking the door when I got out of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
