2011 when hitting lock on remote, sometimes rapid horn beep ?


Recommended Posts

From the 2011 Edge/MKX Workshop Manual...

 

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Lock/Unlock Control — Lock

The RKE feature requests that all of the doors be locked when the lock button is pressed. On any press of the lock button with all doors closed, the doors lock and the turn signals flash one time. If any door or liftgate is ajar, no flash occurs. As soon as the last door or liftgate is closed, the turn signals flash. If 2 presses of the lock button are received within 3 seconds, the horn chirps once and the turn signals flash twice to indicate that all of the doors and liftgate are closed and locked. If any door is ajar when the second lock request is received within 3 seconds of the first, the RKE transmitter feature chirps the horn twice without flashing the turn signals to indicate it locked all of the doors but one or more doors or the liftgate is ajar. When the ignition is in the RUN or START position, the turn signal flashes and horn chirp confirmations do not occur.

 

Good luck!

When I go to press the remote to lock. Randomly it does a few rapid noises apposed to just one to confirm it’s locked ? I replaced the battery as my first trouble shoot ? 
what does the several horn noises mean, instead of just one ? 

 

under normal circumstances, the car should not even do one beep when you press the lock button on your remote once.

 

it will beep once if you press the button on your remote twice quickly.

 

if you get two beeps, then something is open or perhaps a sensor is faulty.

Do you have intelligent access with push button start? The fob has small discs under the buttons that flex and make the connection, these discs might unstick from their location and and make extra unwanted presses.

 

When the car beeps, try to listen or feel if the door locks are relocking.
