My 2001 ford taurus keeps randomly honking without it running or any panic button being pressed

Next time Use your key and unlock then lock the doors again .

Thxs Arvello your answer worked on my 2008 ford territory.

try this it may work put key in ignition and turn to number 2 ( lights on dash) press the fob button on the key. doors should lock, then turn back off to 0, then press the fob button again the doors should open then try to start engine. if all works again but the alarm keeps going off randomly, the power sounder battery may be flat, it can be charged when the system is working again. but sometimes it can get damaged. and it may need to be changed. as I dont know what the sound is coming from under you hood Im thinking it could be this.

first problem- 01 ford taurus. 'nuff said? i can be a wise guy too! perhaps there's a moth in your relay?????

IF you dont have dashboard lights ,you probably dont have running lights check your tail light fuse. if this was helpful please leave me good feedback

Two tips:
* If your anti-theft system is sounding (horn honking/lights flashing)you press the panic button on your key fob to shut it off.

* If your anti-theft system is armed (but not triggered) it is disarmed when you unlock the door(s) using your unlock button on your keyfob, the key pad on the driver's door, or your key.

Hope help with this. Good luck (remember rated this).

there are two seperate horns

Could be a short in wiring

CLICK HERE for the owners manual you require.

The instructions can be found on page 78.

There are 2 methods to enable/disable this feature. One through your
dealer and the second with a door lock sequence using the following
instructions:
1. Turn the ignition key to RUN, then press the door UNLOCK control
button 3 times.
2. Turn the ignition key to OFF, then press the door UNLOCK control
button 3 times.
3. Turn the ignition key to RUN, within five seconds press the door
UNLOCK control button 1 time.
The user should receive a horn chirp to indicate the system has been
altered.
Pressing the power door UNLOCK control button again will toggle the
Autolock/Relock states.
² Turn ignition to OFF to exit.


Thank you for using FixYa - A FixYa rating is appreciated!!

Being that this is a 2008 pt cruiser, I would take it back to the dealership and let them look the car over!! Should be covered under warranty!!
