Reverse Alarm - Disabling

[Lonestar '06]

Does anyone know how to make the horn not honk when backing up with your door open. I back up to a lot of trailers and get the crap scared out of me when I am paying attention to that and take my foot too far off the brake pedal. Is it something I can take care of with the snip of a wire or do I need to take it to the dealership. Thanks Craig

Sure thing!

I haven't tried this myself, but the members here say the easiest thing to do is push the parking brake pedal down just a click or two. It is not enough to engage the brake, but supposedly it is enough to trigger the parking brake sensor, so the truck thinks the brake is engaged, and the horn won't go off when in reverse.

Also posted here was a more technical and permanent fix: "All you guys need to do is unplug the 2 wire plug next to the seatbelt (drivers side, 4 inches lower than where it buckles), then put a very small wire across the 2. Leave it in there and plug it back in. This will disable the reverse horn honk, the seatbelt light, and the seatbelt ding."

that also works for the daytime running lamps (if these trucks have them) or on whatever, itll shut them off...

explain? umm...im not sure what the question is, but on any other vehicle with daytime running lamps, (the headlights turn on in the day) can be disabled by clicking the ebrake once or twice, without putting the brake fully on...and for some reason this disables them, if u didnt want them on for the time being, just the same for your rear alarm...

Results......HONK...HONK.....HONK.....HONK......

Well, another myth busted!

You need to try the jumper on the seatbelt for us next.

Jakey's'01H.O., wasn't sure as to what "method" u were referring ... never noticed that before, thanks ... I've also noticed that the "daytimes" don't turn on now until the truck is put in gear ... I like that. With my '04 they were on all the time ... even in Park.
The "seatbelt jumper" works ... fooling the truck into thinking that your seatbelt is done-up ... easy to remove if needed ... haven't noticed any detrimental side-effects. I'm very grateful for this "fix" ... and so are the neighbors, lol :thumbsup

none of the above work on my '04 -- any other suggestions?

Have you tried jumpering the seatbelt wires? That should solve your issue.

As a test leave your seatbelt plugged in and open your drivers door and backup. If the horn does not honk then the seatbelt jumper should fix your problem. If it does honk we can try and come up with another solution for you.
