Hi all,

Last night, my car keys were on my driver seat, and I sat on them while the driver side door was still opened. I must have done some kind of combination with my butt cheeks on the remote because now, when I lock the doors of my Max using the key fob, the horn doesn’t do the sound to let me know my doors are locked anymore. I still get the blinking lights, and all 4 doors lock correctly but no sound… Does anyone know how to set it back to normal?

Thanks,

 

Press and hold the lock & unlock button for a few seconds, should go back to the way it was. Do the same to switch back.

 

Thanks, I'll try as soon as I get off work...

 

Yeah, says it on the back of the key fob.

 

pics? mine doesn't have that

 

Must be a new key FOB, my doesn't say anything because it's old ...

 

My key fob has it on the back. I bought it about 2 years ago.

 

well **** me runnin. that's pretty cool

 

I just looked in the manual and found it.

 

Wonder if this is true for 4th gens also....Ill give it a shot later in the day.

 

The only thing we get (4 & 5.5) that the 5.0's is the rolling down windows deal.

 

I really miss that feature^

 

Sux. A honk upon arming would give me a bit more peace of mind....especially where I live and me being limited to parking on the street now...

 

wow my car never made a sound when i locked the doors for the 4 years i've had it so far and i just held the lock and unlock and now it honks when i lock it...thats crazy...it always bothered me..i wish i knew it was that easy before thanks nmex

 

I felt the same way as you. Got the car in 04, and I don't think I figured it out until 07 or so

 

My honks its pretty cool but I can't roll down my windows like I use to in my 4th gen and if there's a way let me know my remote might be hiding that from me lol

 

It should just the way you did in your 4th gen. Hold the unlock button down.

 

^^ I will give it a try when I go back downstairs thanx bud

 

As if they just blanked us (5th gens) on that feature then brought it back. I'm actually pretty upset about this

 

I'm pretty sure it won't won't work. But someone came up with a mod where you add a relay and a buzzer or beeper or whatever into the circuit that blinks the light and it would sound that way.

Nice thanks Chris.

 

hold down just the lock button for 5 seconds.

 

the only time i set mine to honk is if im gonna park in a crowded parking lot where i may lose my car. sucks we cant panic the car without damaging the headlights :/

other than that, the honk is annoying. i do however wish we could set (without consult) it to blink 2 times on lock, and 1 time on unlock. pretty sure it can, but dealer has to activate the other 4 modes

 

How do you damage the headlights? Pretty sure the hi beams are the panic lights.

Mine does it the way you state. for lock & unlock.

 

Nice I knew about the horn but forgot all about windows down with the remote.

 

im almost positive that for the high beams to come on, the low's have to have power. COULD be wrong. i know when i flash my highbeams during the day, my HID's strike. i'd like to find a way to run the alarm to just the high beams. ima test this when i get out to my car and hope you're right.

yours blinks once on unlock and once on lock, no honk?

 

For 9 years i never knew about shutting off the honk

 

No that's not true. Not sure where you got the impression that the alarm would harm the headlights????

But it makes no viable sense.

 

you can't flash HID lamps

 

Well mine does the window roll down thing when I hit and hold the unlock button they start going down and release where every I want it.....
