horn honk when door opens and in gear

This is isn't a big deal but it does annoy me, when I throw my truck in park and hop out too quick the horn will honk, almost like it senses the truck still slightly moving, but I assumed it would just sense if it's in park? Also I hate that I have to have the door closed when I am in reverse, it's a pain when I am backing up to a trailer. It's funny because my 06 doesn't seem to really honk if the tuck is still slightly moving and i open the door? anyways is there an easy fix for this? I am pretty sure I can't bypass it in my pmt, but how about any other programmers out there? Smarty?

Thanks

Nope There Is no way to bypass it. Just something you have to live with. I believe the purpose of it was Dodges way of putting a bandaid on a problem which is the tranny popping out of park. I'm glad my 08 doesn't do it!

My does the same thing, or did. If you'll look next time when it does it, you'll see there is no square around the "P". It does not know its in park. The horn is to tell you that its in gear when you open the door.

Mine has not done that since I had the tranny worked up. So, I assume it has to do with the shift linkage.

Mine does it also, gotta make sure the little sq is around the P. Sometimes I have to just wiggle the auto gear shift. It sure makes you feel like a Dork when the Horn starts honking "lool at me!! I'm here!!"
