Passat (B6) :: Turning Off Seatbelt Chime And Horn On Lock?
Is there a way to turn off the overzealous seatbelt alarm? It chimes constantly when the seatbelt isn't on, even when the car is in park. Sometimes I unbuckle my seatbelt to get my crap together before I get out of the car, but its hot here so I like to leave the AC running while get set. I know some cars have some obscure series of button presses to turn this off. Also is there a way to stop the horn from honking when I press the lock button on the remote?

The door chime, yes the door chime. I have searched fairly extensively using the search tool, on a way to stop the chime when the door is open. I could care less about it chiming when you put the key in the ignition or when your seatbelt is unbuckled (because I always wear my seatbelt you seatbelt Nazis). I am curious if that little switch that is pressed when the door is closed, that stops the chiming, controls anything other than the door, the headlights and the interior lights. I don't care if the lights don't come on inside the car when I open the door.
I was considering taking the switch out and grounding the sensor so the car thinks the door is always shut. I am regularly cleaning out my car because my children think its a trash can, and I like to listen to the radio when I do so. I like to have all the doors open when I'm sitting in the car scrubbing only god knows what off of every surface of my car, so I can get a nice breeze to keep me cool. Don't tell me to "roll down your stupid windows" or "just close the driver door", I don't want too; enough said.
Chrysler - Ptcruiser :: Horn / Turn Signals / Hazards / Door Ding Doesn't Work?
I have had this problem for a while now, but can't seem to figure it out. I'm sure it's an electrical issue, but I'm not that great with electrical. My turn signals don't click when I push the handle in either direction. The turn signals come on and stay on but don't blink like they should. I checked the lights in the front and back and they just stay on but don't blink. Also my hazards don't blink. They just stay on and don't make clicking noise either. My horn doesn't work and my door doesn't ding with the key still in the ignition but in the off position. I don't know of it's all related or different issues.

My new Passat has the keyless locking system and ATA (anti Theift Alarm) and the ATA confirm is enabled . When I lock the doors the headlights flash but the horn alarm does not sound unless I lockthe doors twice. My 2014 Passat sel with the keylass lock system horn sounded when the doors were locked the first time. Also on the 2014 if the trunk is opened with the doors locked the horn would sound when the trunk lid is closed. This is not the case with the 2016.
I have been in contact with VW customer care. The rep has been trying to resolve the problem to no avail. VW is trying to tell me that due to consumer complaints the 2016 was changed to sound horn on the second locking.
This sounds like a copout to me when the ATA confirm can be disabled in the MFI settings.
Elantra GD (2013+) :: Won't Start / Horn Sounds Muffled When Locking Door
I've got an unusual problem with my 2013 Elantra. It has been serviced about a month ago and all was well. I left my car sitting for a week, parked inside in an unheated garage, after driving in the rain. When I came back, I started it, let it run for a few seconds (less than 30) then shut it off.
When I then pushed the door lock button on the key fob to lock the door, I noticed the horn sounded muffled and was a lot quieter than usual. Still, the door locked and lights flashed.
When I went back about 24 hours later, and tried to start the car, it wouldn't start. The engine cranked, but would not catch. Electric seemed to work fine.
I tried a few more times, pushed the gas to the floor, and it eventually started. I drove it for 30 minutes or so and it ran fine. I shut it off for 30 min, and then started it up again no problem. And the weird thing was, when I went to lock the door, the sound the horn makes when you lock the door sounded normal.
My questions are this:
1) did shutting it off after one minute the first time make it unable to start the second time?
2) are they muffled horn sound and the inability to start related?
3) do I need to bring it in for service?
Passat (B6) :: Rear Door Lock Not Working
A few weeks back, I removed a small rubber grommet from the rear door which had embossed image of a lock, to reveal a yellow round slotted switch. This is not the child lock switch on the inside of the rear door, but is on the side of the rear door. I then noticed that sometimes my rear door was able to open after locking with the FOB, hence setting off the alarm. If I turned the yellow switch to be horizontal, the door would lock with FOB.
Over time, the yellow switch would go vertical and not work with the FOB again, until I manually turned the yellow switch to horizontal. I replaced the rubber grommet, which decreased the frequency of this happening, BUT, it still happens. Obviously I have messed with something that was working just fine, and now is not. What this yellow switch is for, and is there a way to permanently resolve my problem?
Passat (B5) :: Auto Lock Not Working On Driver Door?
The lock post (or whatever you call it) on the driver door stays up when all the other lock posts go down, either when the car is moving, or you lock with the remote. I first noticed this when it was wet outside a couple months back - then it became intermittent, now it's always. How to fix it?

View 9 RepliesPassat (B6) :: 2007 - Rear Passenger Side Door Lock - Window Isn't Working
My buddy just picked up a 2007 passat 2.0t. Upon bringing it home and locking it we noticed the horn didn't beep indicating an active alarm. I discovered the rear passenger door wasn't locking, and when opening it, even though the alarm was activated, the alarm didn't go off. The door unlock/lock switch as well as the window switch both aren't working. Can't open the window from the driver's door switch either.
I'm guessing it's probably something to do with the power to the door since it's completely unresponsive. Where would we be able to check if power is going to the door? Also, since the alarm doesn't go off when opened is there a sensor somewhere that says when the door is open and or locked?

I'm having some problems with the power windows and locks. The passenger side window only works when it wants to. The power lock on the same door will not lock unless I push it down. And the lights that are on the switches don't work.
View 4 RepliesCamry 2012+ :: Entune Voice Control Function - Chime / Ding Doesn't Sound That Prompts To Speak
While you're driving you can't type anything into the navigation or Bing, or whatever. So you're forced to use the voice control function.
When you push the voice control button it asks, "What would you like to do?" followed by a quick chime/ding that prompts you to speak. That's what it used to do when it worked.
Here's what it does now: I push the voice button, it asks, "What would you like to do?" BUT, the chime/ding doesn't sound and the system goes back to whatever screen I was on prior to pushing the voice button.
When I push the button after that, it does nothing. Voice command does not work for several minutes. The button becomes useless.
THEN, several minutes more pass by and the entire system restarts. Toyota logo comes on, "Warning be aware of surroundings ....." And it is ONLY after the system restarts itself that voice command works as it should. But this is unacceptable. Shouldn't take 15 minutes before it restarts itself before it works.

I have a 2005 with just a touch over 95K on it. I know I'm due (and maybe a little overdue!) for plenty of scheduled maintenance prescribed in the "Passport" between 90K and 100K but I've been pretty laissez-faire about doing much other than changing the oil every 3K and telling my mechanic to "just make sure everything looks alright" since I picked up the vehicle at 70K miles. I know - there should be some audible sighs from more responsible owners, a finger-wag or two, maybe even a reply chastising me for being so frugal about the maintenance. Probably pretty well-deserved. The original owner was nothing short of OCD with the maintenance so I consider myself pretty lucky. In my defense, however, I'll tell you: there's never been a thing wrong with the car in over 20K miles. Not a peep, squeak, growl, groan, whatever. Other than getting fairly inefficient mileage (~42 city/~48 highway - I live in a very hilly place and the hills always seem to be going "up" rather than "down" for some reason...)

Accent LC (2000-05) :: Door Chime / Interior Lights Not Working
I have a 2003 accent and i no longer have interior lights or a door chime working..
I did have a electrician friend change out my hatch last week and pretty sure he shorted out the fuse. I can't seem to see what fuse it would be all seem good
From me checking around i am lead to belive the it could be (shunt connector, memory fuse, power connector, joint connector m31) multiple names for the same thing.
How would i check this? How is it removed?
