I have a 2008 PT Cruiser. Everytime you unlock the doors, the horn honks twice. Even if you unlock the door using the manual door lock. I've also tried to disable the horn from honking when the door is locked with the remote (Also honks if you lock using the manual door lock) How can I stop all the honking?
If your vehicle is equipped with a factory keyless entry system and you have the owner's manual, there should be a section in the manual describing how to change your options with your system. But if you have an aftermarket system, which I am thinking this the case, you will have to manually go into your dash under your steering wheel and cut the wire going to your horn from the security system. Once you have accessed your wiring underneath your steering wheel, there is a main harness with a bunch of wires going to the steering wheel. In this harness you will find a DARK GREEN/VIOLET small gauge wire and you should see another wire tapping into it probably coming from the security module. Just cut it off but leave the DARK GREEN/VIOLET untouched and this will eliminate the horn honks.
I can see where it can be confusing to determine whether the system is, in fact, a factory system or not. Is there a visual indicator (red light) on your dash in the top center near your defrost vents? If so, more than likely it is a factory keyless entry system integrated from the factory. If there is no visual indicator in the top dash center, but instead on driver side dash near your instrument cluster, the chances are you have an aftermarket system that was installed as an upgrade to keyless entry system at the dealer. Try following the procedure that I mentioned above. It is really quite simple. I have a factory keyless entry system on my dodge intrepid, yet it does not arm with the doorlocks with honks. It is always silent. I added an aftermarket system and still the horn only goes off when alarm is triggered. Let me know
If there are no indicator lights, then I am almost sure you can use the procedure I outlined earlier. things to look for when doing the procedure are T-tap connectors, electrical tape wrapped around a connection or tap on the wire
My Camaro honks when I unlock it only if the alarm has been activated since I locked the car. I had the problem of it honking when being unlocked when I used to park my car too close to the rail road tracks. Now that I park farther away the horn never honks when I unlock the car.

SOURCE: Change settings so horn does not honk when arming via remote
If this is even possible...which im not sure..you would be best goin to a dealer..and let them show you how to use your alarm remote..the BUMs show do it for nuffin..Good luck
SOURCE: The horn honks every time the steering wheel
if the horn is going off when you turn the steering wheel that means there is a loose wire in there. or the clock spring is broken, what i would do is have someone who knows how to deal with air bags take it off and check the wires it shoule only take 30 min to check, and if to much to repair they can disconnect it right there.
SOURCE: can't lock the drivers door because horn will start to honk when ever it wants...
It sounds like you have a short circuit in the steering wheel horn pad. You can have someone unplug your horn until you can have it fixed. That is if you don't need your horn. This is a totally temperary fix. Because of the airbag in the steering wheel, you should bring it to a qualified mechanic. Sorry
SOURCE: pt cruiser disable alarm
battery of car is zapped of energy...not sure if alarm system to blame, after driving it for a few minutes..clock and radio display lights turn off, horn can barely be heard...sometimes, motor shuts down completely. have had to put in 2 new batteries in just a matter of 2 months?...any idea what this may be?
SOURCE: Keyless remote locks the doors
I have a 2004 Dodge Durango. When I push the lock button it will lock door and set the alarm but the horn does not blow this is normal on my car. As Dodge is apart of Chrysler maybe it's the same for you, Unless in the past it did trigger the horn then the only thing I can think of is maybe there are different setting for your car. Check the owners manual. Hope this helps.

The vehicle is equipped with a factory keyless entry system. The owners manual only addresses the horn honking when you use the remote to lock the doors. I followed the directions and tried to turn off the horn when locking the car but it won't stop honking. Whether you use the remote or maually lock/unlock the doors, the horn honks.
I don't have any indicator lights on the dash in either location. Can I still use your wire cutting procedure or do I have to get a mechanic or dealer involved?
Thanks for all your help!
2000 GMC Jimmy randomly goes into warning honks mode. 3 times last night about 30 minutes apart. Was stopping with remote UNLOCK and reLOCKING with remote.Finally relocked only front doors manually and left passenger doors unlocked. Didn't hear it again.
horn wont stop honking engine is turned off
the horn keeps honking when in the off postion and wont stop
It sounds like you have an aftermarket alarm system that acts like an upgraded alarm. The only way you will be able to get rid of the honks is if you go under the dash, find your alarm brain, and follow the wiring coming up your steering column until you run across a wire that taps into your horn wire. the wire itself is a dark green with a violet stripe in your ignition switch harness. it should be hard to miss. Let me know if this helps
