How to disconnect horn from alarm ??? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yawesh · 02-18-2009, 11:35 PM

so i'm tired of waking up the neighborhood when i open my car (two loud beeps) or when i come back (one loud beep)

how do you disconnect the horn to the alarm?

or can i buy another type of horn for the alarm?

i am not electrical savvy at all......i can take some pics of the horn area to show which wires are connected to which.

thanks

is the alarm factory or aftermarket,
if it is aftermarket check your instructions some have a hush option,
for entry and exit.

most factory alarms

if you hold the lock and unlock buttons at the same time it will bring it into quiet mode

My alarm has a silent mode as well. If you hold down the button a little longer, it will go silent and alert you with headlights rather than horn.

It's aftermarket. The genuine factory alarm from Toyota does not beep the horn at all.
