My horn used to honk when I locked my 1999 Jeep with the remote

My horn used to honk when I locked my 1999 Jeep Cherokee with the remote keyless entry fob. I was having problems one day and had to hit several buttons several times to get it to work (bad connections due to corrosion) but now the horn stopped honking to tell me the doors locked.

If you have your owner's manual, there is a section that will tell you the exact sequence to press to enable/disable the horn bonk. It has three settings, chirp, honk, and off. The chirp is a really quick chirp of the horn. Honk is a longer honk. Off seems to be what you've set.

I hope this helps.

Horn honks when unlocking doors.

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.

Keyless entry wont unlock

TThere is probably a problem with the door unlock relay or the passenger door module. The passenger door modules on Jeep Cherokee have had a lot of problems and there are a couple of Technical Service bulletins published by the manufacturer as a result of these failures.

Diagnose keyless entry system of 1997 Cherokee

Before replacing any Relay. Try disconnecting the negative side of the battery for at least 2-minutes to de-energize the security system, re-setting itself. The reconnect the battery and try your security (and options) system again.
The only other big question that you will have to know: is this a factory installed security system or an aftermarket security system? This makes a difference in security systems, relays etc.

Keyless remote locks the doors but the horn doesn't honk.

Your lock settings were most probably changed from your remote unit. By pressing both lock and unlock keys together for around two to three seconds you can switch between silent mode and horn mode. Hooe that helps...

When I lock the door on my 99 dodge durango with the keyless remote the horn won't honk. But if I push the panic button the horn does honk. How can I get the horn to honk when I lock the doors?

Look in your manuel, there are steps to change the Key less remote setting to customize it the way you'ld like the car Key less system to work.
Good luck and hope this helps, if your still having problem. Just drive the Dodge dealer and ask the Service adviser to help you out, he or she would be more then happy to reprogram the key less system for you.

Keyless remote still works but the alarm system and horn seems to be deactivated. What could be the problem?

If you look in the jeeps owners manual for the keyless remote section, you can program the horn to honk or not honk when you lock the doors.
