Hi, this problem recently started. It happens about half of the time. 2 quick beeps upon starting the truck. 21' Laramie. Google only shows remote start.

Mine has done the two beeps on remote! start from new. There might be something in the settings to disable it.
If you are talking about starting in cab, then that's a new one.

There is a way to disable the two beeps that occur with remote start. But that is not what the OP is experiencing or asking.

Yeah, starting in cabin. It's getting annoying. I'll have to dive into the owners manual and see what I can find. Maybe an audible alert to let people know your starting the truck?

Is the truck just doing the two beeps or is it doing more like shutting off right away or are you just looking to disable the beep feature?

For the very first time in 34 months yesterday, I experienced the two horn beeps when starting the truck. This occurred when my passenger opened the rear door before getting in. Has not done it since.

I am having the same problem. 2019 1500 Laramie. Just yesterday when starting in the cab the horn will beep 3 times when I push the start button. It's very annoying but even more so to people in the parking lot. This is NOT remote start. I adjusted some things in the menu but nothing. I dug around in the owners manual a little but nothing jumped out at me. I'm wondering if has to do with the fob? Any help would be appreciated

I had the exact same problem with my 2022 Ram TRX. It turns out I had the Trailer TPMS sensors in my glove box. This was triggering the alarm every time I start the engine. The truck must think the trailer tires are all flat. After removing the TPMS sensors for the trailer, the double honk at startup is gone.

Hi, this problem recently started. It happens about half of the time. 2 quick beeps upon starting the truck. 21' Laramie. Google only shows remote start.
so I have a more recent but similar issue. I have had my brand new 2023 1500 Laramie since February. About a month ago my truck started giving me a double honk of the horn when starting about 50-75% of the time. I tried different combinations of remote start Vs. button start. It would do it intermittently either way.

I saw a reply that mentioned they had a similar issue and that by removing the uninstalled trailer TPM sensors from the glovebox solved their issue. Apparently the truck is looking for the sensors and can not find them. I tried that but it did not resolve my issue.

Finally brought it to the dealer last Thursday and so far they and the factory are stumped. It has been a week. What the advisor can tell me so far is it does seem to be related to the TPM sensors. Not sure if the trailer or the truck tire sensors. I guess when you fill the tires on the truck it is supposed to "double honk" when it gets to the correct pressure. The dealer can not figure out why it is going off when starting the truck. They have tried turning anything off in the programming that has to do with honking. The factory has had the dealer tech do tons of testing and troubleshooting and they are still trying to figure it out. They have been able to eliminate the problem by disconnecting the trailer wire harness, but as soon as it's connected, it starts up again with the double honks.

According to the service advisor the factory has taken an interest and is really working with their tech as they think there maybe a bigger issue that is affecting a lot more trucks with the issue that they have not heard about yet.

Sorry for the long post, I'll keep you updated when I hear more from them.

Where did they disconnect the trailer wiring harness, @ the rear bumper, under the hood ?. I'm chasing the same double honk on starting among other issues.
Thank you

Has anyone tried turning off the tire fill alert in settings? Perhaps there is an issue with that system.
