He Got Me. (Horn Blast with Brake Pedal Press)

[834k3r]

While at work yesterday, word came down we had to move our vehicles so the parking lot could have some dust abatement done. Put my hand on the handle and a horn honked twice (must have been the Tundra parked next to me). Get in, step on the brake to start the truck and the honk is longer. "Sucks to be the Tundra owner," I thought. Moved my truck, and applied the brake to park. Long horn blast. "What the hell," I thought, "that's from my truck." Turned off the truck. Let it sit for a few minutes, thinking some setting in the uConnect system got screwed up. Press the brake--horn blast included--and start the truck again. Crap. Time to access the uConnect settings and see if there's anything in there. Nope. Well, let's reset it. Step on the brake after the reset--horn blast.

Wait a second. That horn blast is coming from the rear of the truck. What the heck? Look under the bumper, nothing looks amiss.

After watching me struggle for about 15 minutes (and searching here on the forums for any help), my coworker comes up to me laughing hysterically. He crawled under the truck, unhooked the horn he had wired into my trailer connector, and reconnected the trailer connector.

He got me. I'm posting this in case someone else becomes a victim of this prank.

Lol, that’s awesome. I remember someone did that to the Aston Martin Jeremy Clarkson was driving in an episode of Grand Tour, which I found hilarious for some reason.

That's a good one.

Best one I ever heard was from a cousin I'll call G. This was about 20 years ago. He used to tend bar on Saturdays. One of the regulars showed up bragging about his brand new Chevy pickup and kept taking people out back to the parking lot to show it off. This was a 1 ton dually with all the options, leather seats, the works. G kept putting him off saying he was busy. Finally the guy had to take a leak and left his keys on the bar to hold his place. G had a Chevy as well, so he switched the fob with his. Finally G said he had time to go look.

New owner brags that he can unlock the doors with his fob. (Remember, twenty years ago) He pushes the button and G pushes his in his pocket. Doors unlock. They walk up and right as he reaches to open the door, G locks it.

New owner cusses, reaches for his keys, presses the unlock button, doors unlock. Then as soon as he reaches for the handle, it locks again. Happens several more times and he starts to get angry.

Finally sticks the key in to unlock manually, and it locks again. The guy was raging how he's taking the piece of %$&* back to the dealer and those SOBs better fix it right now or he's gonna demand his money back.

G had to back up several steps before he told the guy he did it. He wanted to be out of swinging distance and have a head start if he had to run.

That's gold!!!

Hey I'll admit I can be gullible at times.

You can use the trailer plug to make a plug in unit. If you use a 12V Hella timer relay will let your "friend" get a bit further away before the horn or siren goes off.
