Horn Chirp on an "EVIC-less" 05

[eddiev9]

I noticed I am not able to disable the horn chirp on my 2005 KJ when activating the alarm by remote using the instructions in the manual.

I see that I'm not the only one who is having this experience according to the "HOW TO: Tweak your Keyless Entry settings" discussion, but that discussion's last post was a few months ago (ended).

Since then I was wondering if anyone ever figured it out...or is it hopeless?

Thanks.

This is driving me nuts too with my '05 Renegade. Anyone had any luck?

Same problem on my '05, although I have no alarm. Tried repeatedly. Possibly a programming problem in the BCM? If I ever install an EVIC, I'll try the horn disable using the EVIC.

I tried doing the disable on my mom's '05 and couldn't get it to work. Kinda weird since it worked just fine on my '03. I agree that it could be something in the BCM. Guess I'll check with the stealership to see if they have any input.

I found this on another site and verified that the horn chirp can be disabled using this method:

Door lock 4 seconds, panic button = disable / enable horn chirp

Make sure you keep the lock button held down when you press the panic button.

Here are some other ones that I havent tried:

Door unlock 4 seconds, lock = drive side only unlocks
Door unlock 4 seconds, window unlock = all doors unlock
Door unlock 4 seconds, panic button = panics

Door lock 4 seconds, unlock = unknown
Door lock 4 seconds, window unlock = disable / enable ligh flash


Window unlock 4 seconds, unlock = 2 click, open rear window
Window unlock 4 seconds, lock = 1 click, open rear window
Window unlock 4 seconds, panic button = panics

i couldnt get mine to stop chirping either, so i went to the dealer, who i've had very good experiences with in the service dept.....they reprogrammed it lickity split. i didnt ask how/what they did

You lucked out... all I got was the panic horn blaring. Pressing the panic button a second time silenced that. So apparently some of our BCM's need reprogramming as per jelohead. I always use the lock-all button on the door anyway.

I've never heard anyone on any forums comment about the old-fashioned style post locks next to the window. I don't see the point.
It's a step backwards. Makes it easier for some uninvited person to enter the passenger side when the window is down! Think about it. I'm a jeeper... I like to drive with the front windows down, even in city traffic.

Wow! It worked! As I walked toward the Jeep this morning I pressed the 'lock' button and held it down (*chirp!*)...after about five seconds I pressed the 'Panic' button (still holding the 'lock' button), and I can hear the door locks shifting (to lock position) and see the interior lights turn on (no *chirps*). I press 'unlock' to get inside, drive it to work, and when I got out I presssed 'lock' and...silence.

THANKS!!!!!

It took me two tries to get it right, so don't give up if it doesn't work the first time. 4 seconds in the minimum to hold down the lock button, then while still holding it down press the panic button. \/
