Horn Chirp
I would like to disable the horn chirp on lock feature. I can not get this feature to dissable after many attempts and following instructions to the tee.
Things I have done that did not work:
1) Followed procedure in owner's manual.
2) Followed procedure on a card that hung from the mirror in my new truck (same instructions as owner's manual).
3) Searched these forums and followed two different procedures (one the same as the owner's manual).
4) Tried all of the procedures again with the second key provided by the dealer.
The procedure in the owner's manual starts outside the truck. You press and hold the lock button for 4-10 seconds and then press and release the panic button, releasing both at the same time. Tried this many times with no result.
The procedure I found on this forum starts with sitting inside the truck, seatbelt on and key in the on position. I will not restate the entire procedure, but I followed it to a tee. Tried this many times with no result.
Before I take this in to the dealer (yuk), is there anything else I can try?
This is very annoying to me and to my neighbors.
Love the truck. Hate the horn chirp.

I just did this on my truck a couple of days ago. It did take 3 trys to get it to work. I don't know how close your timing needs to be when releasing both buttons at the same time. Maybe let someone else try it for you. If your married, your wife will probably get it first try.
I just grasping at straws here.

I hate mine too. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so da** loud! Most other vehicles have a light honk but man are these new trucks loud. I need to disable mine too because I have a bad habit of hitting it after we get out of the truck and my girlfriend is walking right in front of the truck. Then I get 'the look'. Whoops.

Because you had a card hanging from your mirror, that implies that they recently changed the procedure and wanted to make owners aware of it who didn't get an updated owner's manual. You apparently got the updated owner's manual since the two procedures match. Anyway, ignore the stuff you found here (starting in the truck) and use the procedure on the card or your owner's manual.
Since I can't find an 07 shop manual on the web yet, do you mind posting what's on the card/in the owner's manual for an 07?
No offense but computers are smarter than we are and they are correct more often than we are. My guess is you are missing something. Keep trying.

I hate going to the dealers for anything so I was hoping that somebody else might know the work-around for this??
The horn chirp is horribly loud and has to go!

Hello everyone,
I am new to the forum and am new to Dodge Cummins Diesel. I have a 2007 Mega Cab 4x4 auto, 5.9l.
I just had the dealership stop the horn from chirping when I secured the doors with the key fob. Also, now I can open the door with the truck in gear and the horn does not go off. Great!!!!!
Pleasent surprise. I am liking this truck more each day.
I really enjoy this forum you folks have. It is a bit more mature than the site I spent the last 3 years with. Keep up the good job. Wayne

The procedure in the owner's manual starts outside the truck. You press and hold the lock button for 4-10 seconds and then press and release the panic button, releasing both at the same time.
What does yours say about disabling the 2 keystroke unlock?

This is what I used on my 06.
While standing outside the truck, press and hold the lock button for at least 4 seconds (but less than 10). While still holding the lock button, press and hold the panic button. Release both buttons together.
