You will have to go to dealer to have unlocked. The vehicle has built in theft lock system in radio. Most of them have code stored in radio that needs to be pulled before removing battery.

There may be a TSB (technical service bulletin) on this. Call your dealership or look on line.

My guess would be a burnt fuseable link. Closely inspect the main wires coming off of the battery and distribution center for a taped up bulge.

Hi.

If it starts honking immediately when you connect battery, then the problem is a faulty horn switch. The switch is shorted and will honk all the time.

A temporary solution to drive the car without being arrested is by removing the horn fuse. This is usually located in the in-car fuse panel.

After removing the fuse the car will not honk anymore. Drive the car to your local garage as soon as possible and have the horn switch replaced.
