Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

As of today, when I use the key fob to lock the doors I get a horn chirp 5 to 15 seconds after I lock the doors.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

As of today, when I use the key fob to lock the doors I get a horn chirp 5 to 15 seconds after I lock the doors. What gives?

POST 2Original post

you have something open like the oddments tray (arm rest) or glove box or door or frunk or trunk or you pressed the button twice or one of the switches is bad on one of the above

POST 3Original post

I learned the hard way mine was the door locking mechanism one of the switches plugs into. Now I have 2 new switches and interior mechanism. Was on passenger side figured it out by the window not coming down as the door is opened.

POST 5Original post

Quotes source post: 443257

That's true. It does sound kinda wimpy, but I don't understand why. I remember hearing it and thinking to myself, oh no, is that a sign that my battery is dead? Is my alternator not charging? Will it unlock and have enough juice to start back up? Paranoia sets in when I hear that lol

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Wimpy horn, oddments tray. Thanks everybody.
