Wierd horn issue

MattS · Aug 26, 2005

This has happened twice. When I crank the JEEP, the horn goes off. It's wierd. It doesn't happen all the time and I'll just turn the JEEP off and back on to go about my business. I my passenger side horn cabling does not work, by the way. Could the fuse or relay be going out?

What year? Do you have ant-thieft?

Years ago when I worked at a car wash we'd get Camaros with anti-theft that would just honk the horn when you turned the key unless you held down the left turn signal....wierd.

Sounds like some kind of short in the steering column.

It's a 99 with keyless entry. It just started happening...

Sounds like a problem with the keyless entry then. The alarm is not getting disarmed.
Check your engine codes. Also check and see if it just happens with one key and not the other.

Too bad you can buy a keyfob and it will program itself.

The keyfob may be inside with dying batteries.

You know, I think the key fob batts are going out. Could dying batteries do that?

No if the doors unlock the alarm should be off.

SPBOI Key fobs don't program to the vehicle. The vehicle programs to the key fob.

Keyless entry, and the anti-theft are compleatly different systems. You can have keyless without the antitheft. If you have anti-theft you'll have gray keys if not you'll have black ones. You have something shorting out. My guess is the clock spring in the steering wheel.
