I can't figure this simple one out.
Sometimes when I am getting into my truck I will open the door with my key in my pocket and the truck will honk 3 times while the door is still open.

I have an Tazerdt with the 3 honk disable for when it's running

Is this my alarm system telling me someone tried to enter the locked truck, or an bug with the Tazer?
I almost never leave my truck while it's running and when I do I leave my fob inside the truck anyways.

Only has ever happened when not parked at home and happens maybe once every 50 entries when not home, but frequently enough I am cirrous why it's honking.

Never happened to me but I don’t have passive entry. Maybe unique to that since your key fob was in your pocket.

Yeah I'm really not sure.
The way it works is I put my hand on the handle and it has a sensor so it unlocks before I even open it.

Not sure if the horn is triggered when it unlocks or when I open the door.
The fast it only happens when I am not at home makes me think it's a failed thief alert but I don't feel like my truck is tried to be broken into as often as it goes off lol.

Gotta be some weird glitch with the Tazer. Mine does strange things from time to time. Out of the blue it will reactivate Auto Start/Stop after being turned off for weeks. Also the 3 horn beep will suddenly activate again at random when running and closing the door. I can’t explain why that stuff happens.

That's what I was thinking.

I know some cars will "let you know" someone triggered the alarm system while not around but unsure if the Ram had that feature.
Was just curious if this was a thing or just a random bug.
