Electronics Acting Strange

IIRC correctly, the Durametric will tell you the fault codes associated with the central alarm system. I don't think it allows you to activate the individual system components so you can see which one of the components triggers the fault. Others with more Durametric experience may tell us I'm wrong.

Good advice, all of you. Changed the ignition switch less than 10,000 miles ago, so don't think that's it. Everything definitely is closed, even center console.

I'll have the indy shop run the diagnostics next time I take it in.

dbear61,

Check to see if your gas cap is locking.

I have an issue with my 04 S where the remote central locking has decided to stop on me too and I got the double beep of the horn (until I disconnected the horn)

I have since noticed that my gas cap is not locking and have had it confirmed that the locking mechanism actuator has failed. I will be ordering it in the next few days so I am hoping that this part is also linked to the central locking system and is causing my remote locking to stop working.

Might be worth a look in your case too as it's only a $30ish part.

Best of luck

My own car is experiencing this issue, it appears in my case the switch from the interior door handle sorts out, been too busy to mess with it. It will be a future project.

I replaced the gas cap in April. The rubber seal was cracked in multiple places. Still have the problem.
