Ok so i havent been on here as much as i used to so excuse me for being a little rusty at using the search tool lol. I did a search but did not come up with anything except a thread from 2008 which was left unanswered.

Problem: anywho, on to my problem. my 2005 acura tl "honks" before it starts. if the switch is open all the way right before the engine actually starts it honks quickly 3 or 4 times. The car starts just fine and everything just honks right before. has this happened to anyone? is this a sign of a problem that is to come? any input would be greatly appreciated. i will try and get a video by tonight to show exactly what i am talking about.

thanks in advance and sorry if this a repost..i feel like such a noob when i come on here now

 

:gheylaugh:

 

i'd love to see a video lol

any aftermarket stuff like alarm system?

(psst, wrong forum too)

 

are we being trolled? sounds like a buddy is pulling a prank on you.

 

super fail serious question, wrong forum hahahah fml wow!

 

all i have is race pipe other then that car is stock

mods can you please move this to the correct forum

 

2 Options for you to try..

1. Save your radio code, undo your battery, leave it sit for couple minutes then plug the battery back..

2. do you have OEM or aftermarket car starter? if so, try to have it re-program to the dealer..

 

Wow, weird. I'm stumped.

 

tried option 1 already and nothing =[

as far as option 2 what do you mean exactly?

me too never had this happen before or heard of it.

anyone else like to chime in?

 

going to upload a video right now

 

in for the vid. It has to be an after market starter.

 

oem starter just rebuilt. regardless it did this ONE time for about 2 days before i ever had the starter rebuilt then it went away

 

here it is guys, lmk if you guys might know why it does this

 

Sorry not the actual starter a remote starting system

Thats wild, so when you turned the key on it honked.

 

yea idk what it is, it annoys me! lol no remote starter or aftermarket alarm either

 

how long have you had the vehicle, buy it used? did it always do this?

 

You could have hot wire touching some wire for the horn which could be sparking it?

 

[QUOTE=ez12a;13640523]how long have you had the vehicle, buy it used? did it always do this?[/QUOTE

had it since 06 bought it used did this one before for about 2 days but it went away and now its back

how could i find out if thats the problem?

 

perhaps at one time, there was an aftermarket starter or alarm systems installed. then original owner have removed it before they sold the car. That means the wirings were messed up.

Either bring your car to the dealership or any place who install remote starter/alarm systems and have your car checked..

 

Question fo the OP,

Before you start the car, leave the key in the ON position (second click forward just before crank) and bang on the steering wheel a bit. Do you get honks again? If so, an aftermarket shock sensor may have been left in or the entire alarm unit is still in but not fully disengaged.

 

Somethings loose for sure.

I used to have an Isuzu Rodeo (shittiest car of all time by the way) and the horn would go off in the middle of every night, for no reason whatsoever. It would just lay off as if someone was pressing on it and obviously no one was. The only way to fix it without ripping everything apart was to take out the fuse for the horn. Not really safe to do, but I would be driving and the thing would just go off like for no reason. Lol.

 

Speaking of messed up wiring, my seat warmer buttons are mixed up. The button closest to the driver operates the passenger seat and vice versa. Someone, tell me this is not as designed! I bought my car used too and it was bone stock so it's very strange that the wiring is swapped.

 

i will try that and get back to u!

i would have done the same thing hahaha

sounds sketchy lol i dont see anything that isnt supposed to be there as far as wiring goes. ive been in, out, over, under, and around my entire car.
