Ok, so i have a stock security system in my 2004 Rubicon and i've been having problems with it lately.
The basic gist is this is how it's supposed to work:
Set the alarm using hte fob and hte lights blink and the horn beeps once. The alarm goes off when the dome lights are turned on or there is a large shift in the jeeps COG Turn the alarm off by using hte FOB again and hte horn beeps twice Note: The alarm light blinks throught the entire time until the alarm is deactivated and the Jeep is turned on.
Now i know you all know how it's supposed to work, but this is how it's working over hte past day or two.
Set the alarm using the fob and hte lights blink but hte horn doesn't beep at all The alarm still goes off when the dome lights are turned on or there is a large shift in the jeeps COG Turn the alarm off by using hte FOB again buth hte horn doesn't beep twice Note: The alarm light no longer blinks but instead stays on all the time.
Ok, so i knwo this sounds werid, but i haven't got a clue. I didn't do any major mods or re-wiring recently, and it just happened when i parked the jeep at my apartment hte other day. I checked hte fuses, but maybe i missed one? I checked the alarm box, but it looks like it always does and there are no loose wires.
Any help?

did you read the owners manual? ;D You can program the horn feature with your remote.

Your kidding me......now i'm curious as to how the heck i managed to do that one!!
I really thought i messed something up, but i guess i'm going to have to check the manual to see how to re-program it.

You should have seen me cursing up a storm because i thougth i broke something and it was going to cost me a fortune to fix. I couldn't imagine why the horn stopped working but i was able to still set and set off the alarm......it was definatly a sight to see!!!

I would rather stare down a sticker than the business end of a 30/30

My dad use to always have .45cal pistol with 10" barrel in his truck. I think he though he could be a cowboy again. That thing was scary!

My dad drives a F150 and i've been trying to get him to get one just for fun, but he's keeps telling me that with him being a firefighter it's not a good idea!!

Ok, so back to the topic at hand......there is no Valet mode in my security system and now the alam only works when i set it off using hte fob. I have no idea what's going on but when i set it the red light stays on solid and i can open/shut the doors and even start the engine without setting the alarm off.....any help?

I'm thinking there is a problem with it. The steady light is probably indicating a problem with the system.
