This happened to me last week while I was literally putting air in my tire. Scared the sh** out of me!

This hasn't* happened to me since I posted last. Freak issue, probably impossible to duplicate.

Just realized my typo. This issue hasn't happened since that time, but if it did I'll definitely follow up with RamCares.

This happened to me today too. Tire valve is rear tire is leaking. Was filling up the tire and then the hazards started flashing and would randomly honk. Have had the truck less than 24 hours and nothing but issues from this dealer.

Hi Everyone,
I was hoping to find more information on this. I was off roading today and was aired down. At the end of the day when I was airing back up I suddenly noticed my flashers were on. I got in the truck and tried the switch to turn them off and it did not work.
Every few minutes it would have 3 short honks.
I feel like this is a feature but I'm not exactly sure what triggers it. Like I said I was aired down to 15 or so PSI the whole morning and stopped to get out a lot. It did not happen until I was airing up.

This just happened to me yesterday and today but slightly different. Yesterday after getting into the truck and starting it up while in park the truck randomly beeped the horn. My wife thought I pushed the horn but I didn't. Today at a red light the flashers came on and it went to the tire pressure screen. I didn't know WTF was going on, tried to turn off the flashers manually with the button, nothing. I had to turn the truck off and restart it for it to stop flashing.
Yeah it's the tire fill assist. You should be able to turn it off if you desire, in the Uconnect options. I'm sure some people like it because if you are filling air it will honk when it's at the right pressure.
I keep mine off because I actually fill with a regulator so it just stops at the right pressure.

It just means one of the sensors read a change in pressure and assumed you were about to air up tires.
Happened to me once...my left foot hit the four way flasher button and my right foot hit the horn as I was crawling over the center console to get into the back seat with the old lady to...ah, never mind...probably not the cause of your issue.
This has been happening to me as well. And yesterday my battery appears to no longer hold a charge, or the alternator is not charging it. Here are my truck's symptoms:
I've been in park in a parking lot, the horn started honking, the emergency lights started flashing, and the driver's dash screen went to the tire pressure page. This has happened about 5 different times. Every time is a mini heart attack because of the horn.
I am also noticing that on many days the outside temperature gauge is getting stuck on a number. I have seen this in the cold and in the heat. Most recently it was showing 63° F outside, and the actual temperature according to my phone was 81° F. I have also had a cold morning temperature remain from startup throughout the day.
Yesterday the battery went completely dead without being drained by accident. This was surprising because the lights are set to auto. Looking back, other signs something has been going wrong are the tailgate not unlocking (too much power needed to actuate the locking mechanism?), the horn having a weak honk for locking and unlocking, and the sunroof sounding like it was struggling to open while driving. Someone jumped my truck, and I drove 1 hour home. The next time I needed to unlock the truck it was dead. I also had to jump it again to get to work this morning with a battery jump-starter.
I'm taking it into Tomball Dodge Wednesday for my 20K service and to have this hopefully looked into. My truck is only 17 months old and has less than 19,000 miles on it.

Ive had this happen numerous times since I got my 19 Cherokee. Its usually when I get out and im airing up the tires. I put the fob in the seat but it keeps honking every few mins with 3 quick honks. I was going through the manual and didnt find anything about this.

Same thing happening to me. 2019 Ram 1500 BigHorn. Hazards will start blinking randomly, horn will beep once or twice, side view mirror and rear view mirror will begin to tint, and side mirror will alert as if a car is in my blindside....all while Parked. I’ve brought it to two different dealerships and no one can figure out why it’s happening. I even took a video once and was able to capture part of the issue but dealerships have no idea what to do for a fix. I was told that these Rams have issues and one Ram dealership employee told me that “she’s seen worse.” Not very confidence inspiring.
