roxiekj Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 My car randomly honks on its own. It does it while driving and while parked. It also unlocks itself and locks itself. The windows go down by themselves without touching remote or switch only happens while parked. Now my drivers window won't go up and switch only works for back rear windows. I ordered a new switch hopefully that resolves the front window issues. Still I have no clue about everything else. All fuses are in good shape. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtsr Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Welcome to the forum. There have been past posts about similar strange happenings. They have related to the door regulator module or broken wire in the loom between cabin and engine compartment. You may want to try resetting the TIPM/computer link by disconnecting the battery at the negative jumper post for 10 - 15 minutes. dhh3 and jkeaton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roxiekj Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 First thing I tried was disconnecting battery then moved to fuses. Oh I forgot to mention my blinker stops working on driver front intermittently also dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sher3ck Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) I have had the same problems. And crystler/dodge is no help with fixing the issue. Nothing has helped. Tried disconnecting the horn for a few hours then re-connecting it with no help. I have had so many other issues with this car as well. I have had the electrical wiring replaced, we've have had to Buy 3 batteries in 6 months, new alternator,replaced the computer, and have replaced the radiator twice In one year not including other issues. Even after doing all of this we still have to jump the car off each morning and at random times during the day (this battery was bought less than a month ago) We are lucky to be able to drive our car 1 full week each month. This all started about 3-4 months after we bought the vehicle and there seems to be no end in sight.

Did the dealer reflash the car with updates? dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuses are not going to stop your random honking or windows opening and closing. Fuses cut power due to overload or short. I know for 09 DJ the wire loom in the drivers door was recalled. Maybe your car is included in it. Only the dealer will know..... dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Welcome to the forum. I bought mine last year, and no issues yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roxiekj Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Since my last post my car has stopped honking. I replaced the drivers side door switch that controls the Windows and locks and that seems to have fixed it for now. I replaced it at the end of May. I have discovered the Windows are going down by themselves because of the key fob. The fob buttons on inside are moving around inside and are very sensitive. The key fob is crap! dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) I carry my Fob / keys in the "ruler" pocket of my carpenter jeans. They went through the washer last Saturday. FOB still works fine; medium load, regular wash, warm wash and rinse. The Downey made it softer!

At a minimum, they should be in contact with Chrysler engineers trying to figure this out, not just throwing parts at it... dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marina Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Hi. Can anyone show me how to disarm the horn? It has started to honk randomly and it will get me in trouble with neighbours!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtsr Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Welcome to the forum. You can not disarm the horn overall but you can turn the horn off when using the key fob and you do this via/thru the settings screen in the radio. Be sure that when you get in the DJ that you are not accidentally hitting the door LOCK button as you get in as this will actuate horn beeps once you close the door. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Hi. Can anyone show me how to disarm the horn? It has started to honk randomly and it will get me in trouble with neighbours!! There should be settings in the menu screen in the radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
