Hello,

I have a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 Daytona edition and I would like to disable the horn chirp when using my Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter (aka: fob). The service manual and owner's manual suggest the following procedure, however, this DOES NOT work for me.

'The horn chirp can be toggled using a scan or by using the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter that is already
programmed to the vehicle.
To DISABLE (cancel) the horn chirp feature:
1. Enter the vehicle and close all doors.
2. Fasten the seat belt (this will cancel the seat belt chime).
3. Turn the ignition to the ON position.
4. Press and hold the LOCK button for 4 seconds. Within 6 seconds with the LOCK button still depressed, press
the UNLOCK button. When a single chime is heard, release both buttons.
5. Turn the ignition OFF.
6. Turn the ignition ON or wait 60 seconds.
7. Test the horn chirp feature by pressing the LOCK button.
If a chime is not heard, program mode was canceled before the feature could be disabled. If necessary, repeat the
procedure.
To ENABLE the horn chirp feature, repeat the above procedure.'

I found several different procedures online (including this forum) but have been unsuccessful so far. I was able to switch the door unlock to 1 click unlocks all doors last night, but again the procedure wasn't working and I missed what combination ended up working to get the chime in the dash.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

 

I did it on my car (2004 RAM 1500 Laramie) and it worked. I am not 100% sure but I think it was the same method as you posted here. Maybe you should try it again with different "timing"?

 

UPDATE: Got everything to work
