Hello, I have been searching and reading about how to disable the horn with the key fob.
My company only issues keys for the truck, not keyfobs.
If I only have the key, I can never stop the horn from honking when I unlock the door, except by starting the truck, correct?
Is there a way to disable this without a keyfob. I looked through the settings in the display inside and couldn't find anything.
Thank you for the help
It's actually the alarm system that is doing it. If you are locking the doors, by pressing the interior door lock, this activates the alarm. The only way not to activate the alarm is lock the door with the key from the outside.
From the 2018 Owner's Manual:
"Arming the Alarm System
1. Turn off the vehicle.
2. Lock the vehicle with one of the following:
. Use the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
. With a door open, press Q on the interior of the door.
3. After 30 seconds the alarm system will arm, and the
indicator light will begin to slowly flash indicating the
alarm system is operating. Pressing Q on the RKE
transmitter a second time will bypass the 30-second delay
and immediately arm the alarm system.
The theft-deterrent alarm system will
not arm if the doors are locked with
the key.
If the driver door is opened without first unlocking with the RKE transmitter, the horn will chirp and the lights will flash to indicate pre-alarm.
If the vehicle is not started, or the door is not unlocked by pressing K on the RKE transmitter during the 10-second pre-alarm, the alarm will be activated.
If a door or the hood is opened without first disarming the system, the turn signals will flash and the horn will sound for about 30 seconds. The alarm system will
then re-arm to monitor for the next unauthorized event.
Disarming the Alarm System
To disarm the alarm system or turn off the alarm if it has been activated:
. Press K on the RKE transmitter.
. Start the vehicle.
To avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
. Lock the vehicle after all occupants have left the vehicle and all doors are closed.
. Always unlock a door with the RKE transmitter.
Unlocking the driver door with the key will not disarm the system or turn off the alarm."
