Operation Of Alarm Horn

[02chuck]

Another newbie question

Just when should the alarm horn beep or go off?

Is there a setting to have the horn beep when locking the car?

Should the horn go off if the car is locked, with top down and you reach into the car?

I tried that and open the glove box and nothing happened.

I love getting a new car and figuring out the quirks.

Thanks

Mine seems to go of sort of randomly but, I think it’s supposed to beep when the door or something is ajar…or in a witching moon.

I don’t really care anymore, I just listen for the locks or just watch the lights, but it has ammused me for years.

I listen to your replies.

not when locking the car,,,

the horn will not go off, when U reach into the car with the top down,,,unless there is a by-pass clip.

Well today it seems to feel like beeping when locking the car.

Of course after I make a post wondering about it's operation.

I do also listen for the doors to lock, but at least now I know it does

make a sound.

One beep if center console, door or boot lid open, otherwise it won't beep.

One beep means one (or more) zones is open.

Two beeps means there is an alarm fault - which needs to be repaired.

I got one beep after replacing my faulty PCM I with a Clarion MAX983HD.

Was the alarm checking for the radio head unit?

Is it possible to get lid schematic to check them manually?

thanks
