So when I first got my '08 JK X my doors locked automatically and the horn beeped when I locked it. Both went away....

Am I crazy and these features never really happened?

So I am not absolutely nuts.

The fob does not cause the beep either (when pushed twice previously it would, so I thought.).

I guess it is a trip to the dealer :(

I got the dealer to turn off my horn honk on lock. I tired doing it through the manual and couldnt get it to take. One day it just came back on its own. I happened to be in the dealership anyway so I go them to turn it off again. The other day I turned of the JK and all my locks unlocked. I have never activated that and it only did it the once. I think my JK is haunted Either that or sometimes to computer is mocking me....

Where can I find the "manual" method of turning these options on and off?

Now why would I want to read the manual?

And I don't think it was big brother, since I AM big brother.

Mine seems to switch settings every couple of months. Sometimes the horn honks, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes all the doors unlock, sometimes only the drivers. I took the time to set it once, but it changed again 3 months later. Probably haunted...
