Random Chirp?
Hi all, got a '10 JKU manual last December and I'm lovin it! Been reading tons on here and thanks to all for the great info/forum.
I want to know what the chirp is about.
I've noticed that every now and then, when I open a door (even rear gate), the horn goes off (as a chirp). It goes off as I press the door open button on the door handle. Sounds as if a security system was being turned on or off. Chirp is random...very random. Thought I'd figure it out, but I must admit, I am baffled by this one.
I don't have auto locks or security...no gimmicks like power windows, power locks, nav etc.
Thanks

How ''sensitive'' is your horn button? Sounds silly but due to manufacturing variances a vehicle's horn button clearances can be so small that a good jar can let the contacts touch and chirp the horn. The horn button operates with a horizontal movement while most road jarring is vertical, hence the horn doesn't blow while driving. My horn has to be stood on to make it work.
