groundhog Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Horn starts honking and lights flashing,can't shut it off.goes off,then starts again.seems related to fob if you remove battery,it stops,but can start again when you open door .

bigtsr Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 A dealer can check your VIN# to see if all RRTs and recalls have been completed. DodgeCACares and Potlicquor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobitz68 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Could try and clean the one you have after opening it up... they are not cheap to buy new. Edited March 24, 2015 by Lobitz68 Potlicquor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecrazyfoo4u Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Don't be scared to pry it open...the fob is meant to be opened. Open it up and make sure none of the buttons are sticky; if they are lube them up. Then put a new battery in and see how it behaves.

Official Dodge Support DodgeCares Posted March 24, 2015 Official Dodge Support Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Hi groundhog, Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear about your concern. There are a couple of TSBs that may apply to your concerns. One deals with alarm sensitivity triggered by the dome lights (TSB# 08-002-11) and the other deals with the alarm intermittently going off for no reason (TSB# 08-009-12). I have screengrabs of those TSBs attached below. Also, following up on bigtsr’s comment, I can check for outstanding recalls and RRTs as well if you PM me your VIN. Hope this helps! Keep us posted.
