Good Morning!

I apologize in advance if I missed a thread on this but I couldn't find anything specific to my issue in this forum or in the owner's manual.

When locking my car I only get a flash of the parking lights and the mirrors fold in (I have this programmed). In order to confirm locking I have to look at the car. I'd prefer to hear a chirp or horn to confirm locking, especially if I'm in a parking lot and am walking away from the vehicle. A second press of the lock button on the remote does nothing, unlike a previous car I had that set off a beep of the horn to confirm locking.

Is this something that has to be programmed by a dealer or can I set this? I'm 99% sure this is legal/ok in my area (New Jersey).

Thanks!

 

Your alarm speaker may be damaged or disconnected. That has happened before in this forum.
Does the speaker scream when you open the car without the key near? Give that a try.

 

No screaming. Is the alarm speaker located under the hood near/on the firewall?

 

There's another thread in here all about it, called I think "Alarm Sounder". Try a search.

 

Years ago, my sounder stopped working and was replaced under warranty. Yours may be as dead as mine was. If you're a DIYer, here's how to replace it:

Thanks for the info. Although I likely won't try and replace it on my own I'll "take a look under the hood" as they say!
