Double-Honk When Door Closed While Truck Is On

[C_Harris]

I truly love my truck and try to find an excuse to drive it as often as possible; however, the most annoying thing ever is that double-honk that is completely too loud when I shut the door to step out for a second. I'm honestly never prepared for it. Is there any way to disable this without Forscan? You think the dealer would do that?

I've not heard/seen a way to do this WITHOUT Forscan.

This little device is supposed to do it too.

The flashing tool does the same changes forscan makes. If you don't want to deal with forscan it's an easy plug-n-play solution.

But using forscan and making the changes is easy. I would go that route and buy a cable rather than a one time use device.

Excellent! Someone should order one for the use by forum members!

Forscan is a good tool for many things. The Double Horn Honk was the first thing I did... absolutely hate it. Go and get the mail and every time the stupid horn honked I would close the door.
OBD connector is cheap and Forscan has a 2 month free trial.
Another option would be to put an ad on Craigslist and ask someone to do it that is well versed in Forscan.
Or look for local F150 groups on FB. There is even a regional forum you could ask about on this site.

The workaround is to leave the fob in the truck.

You can also hold the fob against the passenger window while you shut the driver’s door If you aren’t comfortable leaving it in a running truck.

Interesting!

I just leave it running. I normally only do this in my driveway. It's my way of giving everyone a wake-up call (DOUBLE HONK)

you need forscan. I see your from USA with a king Ranch, you will be amazed at your headlights if you use forscan to turn on glare free

and once you turn off the double beep, you will still hear the mild ring from the radio when you close the door and have fob in your pocket, so the protection is still there.

You know, you make a great point that this simple mind didn't even think of. Usually, if I leave my truck on a) I'm just stepping out to grab the mail or something where I can still see the truck or b) my wife or kids are in there still while I step out to get the mail or can still see my truck. HAHA! I haven't figured out a way to lock it while it is running. Perhaps the door code for that? Never tried it.

I've seen the forum discussion on this and certainly intrigued by the capability of glare free! I absolutely hate the auto bright lights as they either want to flash on and off between street lamps, or inadvertently blind a poor soul in the other lane because it didn't sense the other car right away. Maybe this Christmas my wish from Santa will be an OBD II connector and Forscan!
