Hyena Member 61 Member For: 18y 3m 25d Posted 11/11/07 09:14 AM Share Posted 11/11/07 09:14 AM Any update on this guys ? Mine starting doing this EXACT same thing this arvo out of the blue. It first did it about 2 hours ago and I raced down to the garage thinking it was the alarm, but quickly remembered I don't have one! Pressing the remote stopped it, unless it was a coincidence. I got in and started the car then turned it off and it was quiet until just a few minutes ago when it started up again. It's since gone off 3 times in the last 15 minutes but is now quiet. I'll yank the fuse if it does it again but I'd be keen to hear if anyone else has a solution. I doubt its the remote as each time it's done it the car has been out of remote range.

firie386 Member 6 Member For: 17y 14d Posted 17/08/08 10:23 PM Share Posted 17/08/08 10:23 PM Thanks Simmo, It turned out to be one of the remotes. The buttons were a bid dodgy and you had to press them quite hard to make them work. Took to Ford and they disconnected the remotes from the car and I used the key for a week all OK. So replaced the remotes and all has been good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bensweet Member 4 Member For: 16y 2m 28d Posted 30/09/08 09:05 AM Share Posted 30/09/08 09:05 AM Same thing happened to me today after giving the XR6 a wash... Went inside and heard some honking and thought it was an idiot neighbour playing up - until I realised it was my car. Pressed all buttons on the remote but the horn kept honking randomly. Ended up tearing out the fuse and relay, and pulling the power on the entire car. It reset itself, I plugged the relay and fuse back in but the horn kept going for it. Taking it in for a pre-warranty check in a couple of days so hopefully they will find something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bensweet Member 4 Member For: 16y 2m 28d Posted 15/10/08 11:00 AM Share Posted 15/10/08 11:00 AM After taking my car in the horn relay read an open circuit fault, but since then the horn hasn't gone haywire. Pretty sure I sprayed water where I shouldn't have when I was giving it a wash - perhaps into the horn or something, to cause a short. Cheap fix at least...
