So, I have tried searching for a resolution and cannot find one. Please help.

I have a 2008 F150 king ranch...normally the horn only honks when I press the lock button on the remote twice, unless one of the doors is not shut all the way, then it honks twice. now randomly, when I unlock the doors the horn honks, again this does not happen every time. I have also noticed, that the horn will (again sometimes) go off when I unlock the doors with the keypad. I know this is not a setting, as it is not consistent....does any one know why this is happening?

does it ever happen when locking or unlocking with out the remote?

dlnagold

yes, it happens randomly when unlocking the doors with the keypad. I have not tried using the key in the lock....will try that tonight

not the key the button inside door. if it does it with that then most likely a short between horn circuit and lock circuit

Black-Light,

Thanks, i think you mean if I use the "lock/unlock" switch from inside the truck. It does not honk if I use that switch...

Black-Light

yes that is what I was saying

I tried that several times today and no horn.....

I know I can set my ford gold alarm to do this upon 1 or 2 presses of the unlock button... Maybe it's sticking or dirty... Take the remote apart and clean it... Or if you have 2 remotes....switch them out to see if it changes anything... And it could be the battery like was said....take the battery out and see if it still does it with keypad too...

thanks for everyone's input. I tried it with the other set of keys (and new batteries) and it still does it. Guess I'll have to live with it.
