Ford Explorer Ford Explorer is a midsize SUV with body-on-frame construction. Available with V6 or V8 power, the Explorer competes against the TrailBlazer, Grand Cherokee, 4Runner, and Pathfinder. Explorer was completely redesigned in 2006 and we were pleased with the new steering, new suspension, and new brakes, all of which were vastly improved over the previous-generation.

Question How to use keyless entry quietly?

I can't find the entry in the manual that describes how to turn off the soft honk when using the keyless entry system. Is there a way to set it to flash the lights but not honk the horn every time?

(Third Gen 2004_Explorer)

Thanks!

I'm confused. Are you talking about when you are locking the doors with the key fob or unlocking them ?

The horn honks when locking on the second click. The doors are already locked after the first click, the second click is an audible/visible confirmation if you are not immediately next to the vehicle.
