Horn blows

[HeyBales]

If you open the door, then hit the lock button (in front of the handle), the horn will beep twice. Did it a few times by accident.

Under what exact circumstances?

You'll notice post prior to yours spells it out for keyless entry.
You have key or keyless?

My 2024 EB is key, including key ignition switch.

What model norco charger are you using?

G5 mainly, I do have a g10 but use it on 80-200 ah batteries. Both will follow same routines after batteries get above 5amp float rate.

@mavstrangva
I knew Glenn was going to ask you to show your work, not just the answers.

So there is a setting for Feedback for horn response (not the mislock option).
I think the double-honk warning will happen anyway in what you showed.
But some of the others may be different.

Just for completeness - what is your setting on?

Which is what I expected. I did not try the same scenarios with it off since it's hotter than Hades today

I noticed no replies from the OP.
In the interest of science or curiosity I decided to do a @Glen Baker LLC research project into what conditions my 2024 Lariat honks.

Remote started using the fob from 20 feet away, no honks. Unlocked with fob same distance no honks.

Backed into the turn around in driveway , truck on, fob in pocket, exit truck, door open, walked 12' away, no honk.

Closed door, walked away, double honk.

Truck running, fob in cabin, door open, no honk.

Truck running, fob in cabin, door closed, no honk.

Truck running, fob in cabin, pushed lock button on inside of door, double honk.

Truck running, fob in cabin, touched autolock on outside of door, no honk and no locking.

Truck running, fob in pocket, hit lock button on inside of door, locks, unlocks instantly, double honk.

Truck running, fob in pocket, touch auto lock on outside of door, locks, no honks.

Now I can sleep tonight

If you double lock from max range of fob;
no honk = out of range, did not hear fob
One honk = lock successful
Two honks = lock NOT successful!
Double lock will turn off delay off items early just after double lock (so you can have courtesy lights on to see where you are walking, etc and not have them burn for 10-30 minutes (whatever time you have delay off set for)!!!

Hey! It just occurred to me to exit without getting a honk (I haven't tried it, but,) put into neutral push the "L" button maybe set the emergency brake.

If I do a quick exit… engine off and open door in one quick move, I get the double beep.

Yes...THIS....this is the only time mine will double beep. That exact movement.

Since it's small. Have you ever thought about leaving it in the truck and permanently hook it up to the battery under the back seat?
It makes it very convenient although I've only had plug my charger in twice in 2 years.
No one has been able to demonstrate anything detrimental about it and they'd be loath to admit that it could be a better option.
And I still have the original flooded battery that the Maverick came with.
It would sure beat running the vehicle in the garage for an hour

Mine will honk twice sometimes when my wife exits on the passenger side with the engine running and gear selector in Park. I suspect she may be hitting the lock button as she is pushing the door open but she denies it. It's never her fault you know.

My wife has never done anything wrong in 55 years

Every once in a while the horn will beep twice on my truck with the switchblade key in my hand, truck off and I open the door. I see no reason for this but that is what it does. Not every time thankfully.
