Horn operation with keyless remote
My neighbor honks his horn repeatedly in the morning to unlock his car.
He has a 2004 Ford pickup. I do not know how the keyless remote works. Is it necessary that the horn sound when unlocking the vehicle? Is there another way to enter the car not sounding the horn. If anybody can print the instructions on the operation of the keyless remote, I would sure appreciate that. It just doesn't make sense to me that it is necessary to wake me up every morning. Thanks - Bob |

Thanks - Bob I have owned four Fords with remote keyless entry, and not one beeped the horn when unlocking the vehicle. In fact, Fords don't beep the horn when you lock the doors unless you press the button twice rapidly. I would guess your neighbor has some sort of alarm system installed that beeps the horn to indicate the alarm is armed / disarmed. This may be programable. I suppose you could ask your neighbor about it. Ed |

Horn operation with keyless remote
You don't have a problem with the car... you do have a problem with your
neighbour.... I can only suggest that the two of you sit down and talk about it before we see you on "Joe Brown" or the evening news... FWIW.... pushing the unlock button once will, generally, unlock the drivers door with no "chirp". Push the unlock button twice in quick succession will unlock all doors with a single horn chirp. Push the car finder/panic button and the horn will chirp repeatedly until the button is pushed again. At this point in time, there are too many unanswered questions.... "Is this a factory system?".... "Is there a reason you are talking here rather than addressing the concern head on?"... There is a way to enter the car without sounding the horn period.... no matter what the system... you may have done it a time or two yourself..... First, we need to locate the stainless steel circle on the drivers door. Once located, we may notice a (roughly vertical) slot inside the circle.... And this is where it gets really weird - When we bought our car, we got some "keys" with it.... Surprisingly, one of these "keys" will fit in the slot in the stainless steel circle... Twisting this wonderful key in the correct direction will both unlock the door and will accomplish this feat silently... At this time, I am rubbing my forehead and hoping I die early so I don't have to witness how abjectly stupid and self-centred people are becoming.... Both you and your neighbour need, desparately, to realize that you are ****ing adults... as adults, we desparately need to co-exist in harmony. Without this knowledge, we are no better than animals in the wild.... someone is gonna be dinner.

Thank you guys for responding. Yes I know we are adults. I am an old
adult and my neighbor is a young adult who is raising children. I was just trying to gather information in an area that I was ignorant. Knowledge is power. Unfortunately, even though I am old, new things still happen to me that I am totally unprepared for. I have to then gather information in order to adapt. Believe me, I have tried to talk. Some people would rather be mean than reasonable. - Bob Jim Warman wrote: > You don't have a problem with the car... you do have a problem with your > neighbour.... > > I can only suggest that the two of you sit down and talk about it before we > see you on "Joe Brown" or the evening news... > > FWIW.... pushing the unlock button once will, generally, unlock the drivers > door with no "chirp".

Horn operation with keyless remote
My wife likes to make the horn honk when she locks the Explorer. (2 quick
pushes on the lock button) It drives me nuts. I don't understand why she has to bother everyone else around her with sound pollution that is absolutely unnecessary. I am looking for a way to disable this feature. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?

Funny you should mention it though. I tend to do the double push honk just because I know it drives my wife nuts! Any chance she's just trying to get your goat? <grin> Mark |

Yes Mark, my wife knows perfectly well that it drives me nuts! She
obviously likes to push buttons.... especially mine! Thanks for the reply. I'll check the owner's manual.

I do not know what year your have but the 97 owners manual not only does
not provide a way to turn it off but also indicates why you want to click if twice and issue the sound pollution. The second click will result (for a 97) in chirping the horn once if the security system is armed. If a door is left ajar, the horn will chirp twice and the alarm system will no arm! In my case I always verify the alarm is on and my wife does not like the pollution. I agree that I like my Siebring better as I was able to get it to only flash the headlights, but once again it is an information feed back that the system is armed. From the Manual (which I have pdf of) Locking the doors Press LOCK to lock all doors. To confirm all doors are closed and locked, press the LOCK control a second time within five seconds. The doors will lock again, the horn will chirp and the lamps will flash. If the horn chirps twice, a door is still ajar and the anti-theft system will not arm.

You can switch the alarm system over to "Japan mode" there will be no horn chirping when you press the lock button on the key fob. The factory service manual says how to change alarm modes.
