Double Honk When Close Door When Bronco Running

[GORD]

Want to stop & exit, leave engine running, but not have annoying double horn honk, yet don't want to leave driver door open?

Step out, gently close driver door to where it "catches" but doesn't fully latch (horn does not honk-honk). Can check that door has truly "caught" by opening rear door and reaching in the (resultant) gap 'tween front & rear door and, by pulling w/ finger, will see that door sorta partially latched Works on quick in-outs to get mail, etc.

Only way to disable double honk is with forscan.

Leave one key fob inside and lock with the other until you come back. Other than disabling with Forscan that's the only way.

Leave your key in the vehicle…

Flashcal also works

Flashcal also works

I guess I should have been more specific. The only way to disable double honk is by modifying the BdyCM module. This can be done with forscan.

That's illegal in a lot of states to reduce auto theft. A lot of cars get stolen when people warm them up in the morning before work.

Not as cheap a solution with flashcal but easier to use if forscan seems daunting

I use the fordpass app on my phone to lock and unlock the car with the keys inside.

I was assuming the OP is talking about when getting out of their running vehicle to grab something (maybe getting something from home, or getting mail, etc.). If they were warming a vehicle, I would assume they would remote start.

Ooh do that...I'm dying for a Bronco.

Ah So that's the infamous double honk that everyone keeps talking about. I never really read up on any of those topics because I don't have a Bronco yet and didn't really care.

Thought maybe it was something like when you lock it, it double honked... I never understood why that bugged people.

But now that I know it honks when you have it running and shut the door... I can see that bugging folks. Personally my concern is your announcing to everyone around that you're leaving your car with it running

BRILLIANT!
I almost gave an old lady a heart attack! Stopped to load furniture at a store, and she was entering the store. Scared the crap out of both of us!
Real intelligent Ford.
Thanks for the tip!

Flashcal Superchip works like Forscan but easier. Also not as many choices.

Seriously, It makes me jump everytime. Happening more often now that it is winter. Hop in turn it on, grab the scraper, hop out, close the door and wtf.

Yesterday I was so proud of myself, left the door slightly open, then halfway down the driveway I realize I forgot my phone, hop out close the door and wtf.
