Alarm system changes?

[daveb91]

I need a link or a how to so I can eliminate the horn when I activate the alarm. It kind of gets annoying at 2 am.

RTFM.... sorry, don't have the instructions, but it's in your owners manual. It involves taking out a fuse, having the door open or shut or something. Check for programmable options.

There's quite a few things you can program.

If you simply can't find it in the owners manual, come back and I'll check out mine for ya.

Mine has the factory setting - I don't use the remote, just press the lock button on my door, close it, activates - and parking lamps only.

Luckily I had this printed out. Unfortunatly, I didnt have a scanner, so I had to type it all, or else i would have had it sooner for you.

Holy crap Matto, you're a helluva nice guy to type out all of that. I'd have probably copied it from another website. At least we have it on the site now. If there's a sticky FAQ coming, that would be cool info to have in it (even though that's not really a FAQ)

I was really bored that day, what can i say. I tried finding it on some site somewhere else, but i couldnt find it. I know got it of this board before it went down and everything was lost. Thought tech would have it, but i couldnt find it there either, i dont think the search function there works very well though. It takes me forever to sort through the crap there to find what i need.

Again Thanks!
