Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Horn Still Occasionally Honking When Open The Door With Key?


Oct 24, 2015

Occasionally, when I use the key (not the key fob) to open the driver door, after turning the key, the horn will beep-beep-beep-beep.

Then, I put the key back in the keyslot, lock the door & unlock it, and it stops. Why that happens?

2014 Elantra with Preferred Package. (My key fob is nowhere near the car. It is just with the key).

Prius (2010-12) :: Constant Horn Honking When Low On Fuel

When I drove my 2012 Prius 3 today, the fuel indicator was flashing as I had about 20 miles until empty. I was on my way to get gas when suddenly, the horn was honking as if the alarm was going off. Nothing I did seemed to stop the horn, even clicking the unlock button on the key fob. Intermittently, the horn would stop, then start up again in a stuttering fashion, only to be followed by the incessant honking I mentioned earlier. I have a video of this but it must be too large to upload.

Prius (2010-12) :: Short Honking Horn In Middle Of Night When Car Is Locked

I have a 2010 Prius V that is honking the horn in the middle of the night and sometime in the middle of the day ( 5 short honks of the horn). This has been occurring over the last few months.

1. Only one key FOB and it is stable ( not in a pocket or something pushing a button)
2. Car is confirmed to be locked before this occurs.
3. No alarm issue from what I can tell ( I get up right away and no one or animal is around the car)
3. Cannot find root cause on a current thread although one person stated that it might be that the 12 VDC battery is starting to go bad???

No other issue with the car.

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: 2013 GLS - Passenger Door Will Not Shut Occasionally

I have just bought a 2013 Elantra GLS and occasionally the passenger door won't shut. When you close the door, it will bounce back. It's like it's not catching. I took it to the dealer and they lubed the mechanism that catches, but it did it again. And of course, this is one of those things that won't repeat itself at the dealership.

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: When Open Driver Door Car Will Ding Repeatedly After Turning Off

I just purchased a Shimmering White 2012 Hyundia Elantra GLS last Wednesday. I love it so far!

The only issue I have (and I'm probably nitpicking). Is that I'll occasionally turn the car off (all accessories off, mind you), and when I open the Driver door, the car will 'ding' repeatedly. Again, no lights or accessories are on. I'm also not able to remote-lock the car after this happens.

The only fix I've found is to put the key back in the ignition and turn the car to accessory, then back to off...then the car doesn't 'ding' when I open the Driver door.

Prius (2004-09) :: Horn Honking While Turning

Yesterday my horn started honking when I turned the wheel. At first I thought I had brushed the horn with the heel of my hand, but then I was careful and it continued to honk when I turned. My temporary solution was to disconnect the horns until I can get it to the dealer.

Prius C :: 2012 - Horn Honking At Random Times

My wife was driving our 2012 Prius C that we bought new three months ago and as we were backing out of a parking space the horn sounded in a stuttering pattern. She stopped and the horn did too. As she continued to back up the horn stuttered again, this time I was watching her hands and the steering wheel. She was not touching it except in a normal driving manner. Nothing touching the center of the steering wheel. Looking over the dashboard displays we saw nothing abnormal.

As we drove out of the parking lot the horn fully sounded for a split second then stopped. We turned left onto the street and as she straightened the wheel the horn started blowing like it was in alarm mode; on-off-on-off. We pulled into a parking lot, shut off the car and the horn stopped. Drove 12 miles home with no further problem.

Dodge - Stratus :: Horn Honking Due To Turning / Vibrations

A few months back on a really hot day my horn randomly started honking while driving. I pulled the fuse as a quick fix and brought it into a body shop. They initially thought it was something to do with the airbag part and ordered one, but ended up making new bushings instead. The center of the steering wheel was a bit off-center and the left side was pretty sensitive but it worked for a couple weeks. When it started happening again I used a couple pieces of gorilla tape to dampen the vibration and that worked for about a month and a half but last week it started happening again. Now it's only during right turns and when it gets bumped just so. Applying light pressure to the left side of the steering wheel seems to work but sure makes my commute a pain. My first instinct is to take the air bag module out and reattach it but I'm worried about messing with the airbag.

Gen 3 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: Horn Honking When Locking And Unlocking Doors

I have a 2010 Prius IV and set the doors to all unlock when I touched the driver's door handle. Annoyingly, now when I touch the raised spot on the handle (either driver or passenger side) to lock all the doors the car does the beep but also briefly toots the horn. The horn also toots when I touch the handle to unlock.

My old 2005 Prius VI just did the beeping (which my neighbors and I can live with) but the addition of a honking horn, however brief, is pretty annoying. I can't seem to find a place to disable this unwanted feature...

Subaru - Forester :: Horn Starts Honking And Lights Flashing Spontaneously

My car horn starts honking and the lights start flashing, spontaneously. The neighbors are going to kill me if I don't die of sleep deprivation first. The problem started a few minutes after 6 a.m. yesterday, and stopped when I turned the car on I left the car running in the driveway (illegally) and then cut it off after about 30 minutes, and all was quiet until around 8:45 a.m., when it started again. The only way I can get it to stop is to press the UNLOCK button on the car's remote; but that doesn't make it quit for good, sometimes only makes it quit for a few seconds.

Anyway, I drove the car to work and it was nice and quiet all day. (I went by the mechanic's on the way to work and had to set an appt. for Monday but I don't think I can stand it until then. This morning the honking/flashing began at 1:52 a.m. I pushed the remote. It stopped until 2:08. It kind of went like that until I finally started up the car. It is now emitting carbon and I am a zombie. What can I disable or override until a mechanic can take care of this? Is it a mechanical problem? A goofed-up sensor? Is this tied to a computer chip problem?

Ford - Explorer :: 1996 - Alarm Will Start Honking Horn After Activated

I have a 96 explorer XLT 4.0 4 wheel drive. The alarm will start honking the horn after the alarm has been activated. It usually takes a few hours then it goes off. I was in extreme temps and was thinking that was it. I am in another state now and it's not that cold here. Could it be a battery in the fob? I have gone to each door and rear hatch to make sure nothing was left open.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2001 F250 V10 - Horn Honking When Off

I have a 2001 F250 V10, 150,000 miles, gas, very basic truck (no power windows, no cruise, no security system, no power locks, etc). In it's previous life, it was an IDOT highway truck I purchased at auction in 2005. Used primarily to pull horse trailer, less than 2000 miles per year. Stored under cover when not in use. Windshield leaks very little, but generally not used when raining.

Last week, 9pm, horn starts blaring solid tone. I go out and unlock door, open door, it stops. I start truck, still fine, turn truck off. Lock door, close door, starts blaring again. I reopen door, leave unlocked, close door, then get intermittent beeps. I reopen door, disconnect battery because it's late, I was going out of town, and felt bad for my neighbors. Just got back in town, too afraid to reconnect battery and not be home in case it starts going off again. I had last used the truck about 36 hours before the horn started going off, weather about 70 degrees overnight.

I've read other threads, but can't find one that fits (I have no cruise, kept out of rain, not freezing cold, not diesel).

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: Rear Door Open / Close Work Occasionally?

After owning the truck for a little over a year I figure it's time to fix the little stuff staring off with the rear door. When pressing any of the 3 buttons to open/close it I get it to work 50% of the time. That being said, I can't pinpoint a specific bad part.

Elantra GD (2013+) :: Won't Start / Horn Sounds Muffled When Locking Door

I've got an unusual problem with my 2013 Elantra. It has been serviced about a month ago and all was well. I left my car sitting for a week, parked inside in an unheated garage, after driving in the rain. When I came back, I started it, let it run for a few seconds (less than 30) then shut it off.

When I then pushed the door lock button on the key fob to lock the door, I noticed the horn sounded muffled and was a lot quieter than usual. Still, the door locked and lights flashed.

When I went back about 24 hours later, and tried to start the car, it wouldn't start. The engine cranked, but would not catch. Electric seemed to work fine.

I tried a few more times, pushed the gas to the floor, and it eventually started. I drove it for 30 minutes or so and it ran fine. I shut it off for 30 min, and then started it up again no problem. And the weird thing was, when I went to lock the door, the sound the horn makes when you lock the door sounded normal.

My questions are this:
1) did shutting it off after one minute the first time make it unable to start the second time?
2) are they muffled horn sound and the inability to start related?
3) do I need to bring it in for service?

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Remote Key Entry Does Not Activate Lights Or Horn

I have the 2012 elantra and since my last oil change at the dealer, when I lock the cars with the remote the horn and light don't activate like it use to. I read the manual and it says to hold down the lock and unlock buttons but still doesn't work.

Elantra HD (2006-10) :: Goes Through Two 20 Second Honking Cycles

Our 2007 Elantra horn keeps honking for about 20 seconds in the middle of the night, for the past week. Every night at about 1245 am it goes through two 20 second honking cycles with about a 10 second gap between the two cycles. The again at 230am, then randomly every hour until 7am.

We lost one of the fobs recently and the other was destroyed by a lawnmower a couple years ago. We figured someone found our fob and was pressing the panic button at night, but who would do that on a schedule? We had the dealership disable the cars receiver, it still honks.

Went back to dealership and explained that we found a bunch of similar stories which pointed to the hood switch malfunctioning. They said that was most likely not the case. They also said they didn't think they could fix it if they couldn't replicate it. They disabled the hood switch as a precaution, still honks on schedule.

For now I am disconnecting the battery at night and tomorrow when I find out where the horn is located, will disable it. I know that's a safety violation though. What other choice do I have. I have two theories.

I disconnected the battery to reset the car's clock. I figured if it was honking on some schedule, with the clock reset it should have changed, but it didn't. I suppose there's another CMOS type battery in the system keeping the odometer and other electronic data alive, which could also be holding this schedule.

My other theory is there some sensor malfunctioning at night as the temperature drops. Hard for me to prove or disprove this one.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Door Lock / Unlock Indicator - Horn Beep Missing?

Miss the horn beep on my Murano when I locked or unlocked the RX doors. The RX blinks it's lights and I guess there is a dash beep (which I can't hear). I read and read and read the manual but can't find where I can customize to get a horn beep.

Elantra XD (2001-06) :: External Handle Won't Open Door

I picked up a really cheap Hyundai Elantra 2005 that the kid that owned it really beat up on. Right now I am trying to sort out the issues so that it can become my daily driver for the next few years. First issue, When I bought the car the driver's window was busted out and the outside latch will not open the door. The inside latch works just fine. What to check for to find out if it is the latch or one of the linkages? I don't mind replacing it but I would really like to know for sure before I do. I replaced the window by the way. I also need the weather strip on the outside of the car window as well.
