New Member Intro + double honk question

[gtrx22]

New to the forum here! I have been lurking some posts tho and have found a lot of value with some of the smaller mods and general questions to maximize the enjoyment of this beast. Got a 22 TRX level 2 with Ram Bar. Mods done:
- Satin Black Wrap
- tonneau cover (was a headache to figure out with the Ram Bar but the forum here had some great posts!)
- Currently in the shop to install an AFE Momentum GT

The one thing I keep trying to figure out is a strange road runner double honk when I start her up. Sometimes it won't do it and other times it will. I tried everything I could and can't pin it down. Simialir to the post made here: https://www.ram-trx.com/threads/what-did-i-do.11415/

If anyone has been able to crack the code would be much appreciated!

Not sure why it's doing that randomly. Did you turn off the double honk in UConnect? I hate that annoying feature, so I turned it off the day I got my truck.

1. • Turn on the truck's ignition or accessory mode.
   • Tap the Apps icon on your Uconnect display.
   • Select Settings.
   • Choose Doors and Locks.
   • Find and uncheck (or turn off) the option labeled Sound Horn with Remote Start.

Yes, I turned that off and even went as far as resetting Uconnect overall :/ ....it happens when i start without remote too. Changed key batteries and everything as well. Appreciate the input tho

Welcome to the forum @gtrx22

I've seen the issue mentioned a few times and it always seems to be related to the TPMS sensors. However, did a quick search and also found out that someone had a similar issue and it ended up being the trailer module wiring:

Double Honk when starting truck.

I have had my brand new 2023 1500 Laramie since February. About a month ago my truck started giving me a double honk of the horn when starting about 50-75% of the time. I tried different combinations of remote start Vs. button start. It would do it intermittently either way. I found a thread...

Keep us posted if you are able to get it resolved.

Super helpful! Thank you for sending over that thread. I'll take a look. Not sure if the module wiring is something that can be DIY'd but at least gives me a point to discuss at the dealer if I take it there.

I did try the TPMS sensors after reading that in other threads and removed them from my glovebox and didn't solve it. Wish it was that easy.
