horn honking when locking door w/keyless entry
 

My friend has 1999 protege Lx and her car always honks locks or unlocks the doors with her keyless entry remote fod. Is there a simple way to reset her keyless entry without cutting wires to the horn to prevent the honking??? if there isn't does anyone know the easiest way to stop the car from honking when she locks/unlocks the car

On my car it only honks if you hit the button twice, If you just hit the button once it doesn't honk, but it does lock all the doors. Mine doesn't honk when I unlock...

On my 2002 I pressed the lock and unlock buttons at the same time and it turned the honk feature off. The parking lights just flash now. Two quick shots on the lock button give an audible "locked" confirmation. Good luck.

yeah mine only honks when i press it twice when i'm locking the car......it doesn't honk when i unlock it. Although my car is a 2002, so i'm under the impression that they changed it from 1999 to 2002.


Anyways......wow i'm amazed how poorly written my questions are....they always seem to be missing words and the spelling is atrocious. They should have a spell check on this thing !!!!!

As long as you get the point across, who care's about grammer. As for any changes, I'm new to the Mazda scene and don't know anyone else that has one so I can't compare. The owner's manual should have that kind of info, or you can always try the search. C ya.

Or just leave on of your doors open and then it won't honk at all HE HE!!

Hehe - or spelling, right? "grammAr".

Sorry - just struck me funny. :)

Oops. I guess eltonr has a point about spellcheck.

Wow, I have to try this.

By the way, has anybody noticed that if your hatch is not closed properly then it does not honk when you press twice? Found that out and could not figure out what was happening. When you press lock once all doors lock and when you press lock again doors lock again and horn sounds. I did that the other day and no horn. Bugged the heck out of me as I saw the doors lock. Checked the hatch and found it was closed but not secured.

Cool feature I think. Not sure if it would apply to the sedan as I have a P5.

that would apply to most factory alarms. Most will not lock/arm if a door is open, but will lock but not arm if the trunk/hatch is open.
the pin switch is actually a part of the latch, so it sees exactly whats going on, rather than a physical pin switch around the frame.

Find the lock/unlock relay under the dash and use a test light to find the wire that is honking the horn and cut it. This will not affect the horn honking from the steering wheel.

welll that's what i was going to do as a last resort i wasn't sure if i could reset it or something to prevent the honking.....i was trying to mess around on my car but there are three relays there and there are a billion wires going to them....i guess it would be easier if i should bought a repair manual maybe that might say.........well thanks anyways
