Reverse Horn Honk Simple Fix

[landini2]

Just in case anyone is still annoyed by this honking in reverse with the door open:

On the my 2004 the seat belt fastening fix does not work.

On my 2004 you can easily disable this annoying feature by opening the drivers door before you are ready to back up and tranny in Park.

1. Open the drivers door.

2 Take a small screwdriver, piece of wood or your finger etc and push the latch on the door shut, ( push towards the outside of the door), it will click in the shut position and the door AJAR lamp on the dash will go out.

3. Once the lamp goes out the CPU will not beep the horn as it thinks the door is closed with the latch engaged with the striker.

4.When you are finished with the back up driving task, go to PARK and just pull on the inside door handle and the latch will go to the door open position.

5.Close the door and drive off.

6. If you want to disable this feature permanently, remove the inside door
plastic, only about 5 screws and the handle, on the connector C304 that carries the wiring to the latch mechanism, pull out the Violet wire going to C304's Pin #1, this will open the path to ground for the Door Ajar signal
and hence the CPU will see the door always in the closed position.
