2017 transit connect horn double beeping randomly at nights

[Dave Roberts]

Hello,
I have a 2017 transit connect, during the night my van has started double horn beeps and hazard lights flashing. I have to unlock and relock to stop this. Sometimes it starts again after a couple of hours. The neighbours aren't happy

if the issue is the body control module ..i cant really help ..
But what you can do is check all the circuits that tell it that things are closed and open.

That would be all doors and the bonnet catch, the check may involve removal over door cards ..and first checking that things are securely attached, and not physically broken, checking switches for sticking before moving onto the electrical continuity tests./

You could also plug a scanner in and check that to see if its showing codes for the fault - they recommend software called forscan that is free ..you download it to laptop or mobile ..you'll need to buy interface cable.

join the forscan forum to find out which cable and how to use.

Such things can happen if the battery voltage is a little low
