Default Something wierd happend today.?.?.?.?

Ok so today when I was walking up to my jeep today to run some arrands something really odd happend.

When I unlocked the doors using the remote keyless entry, the panic alarm went off 4 times. I thought this was odd, but that I most likely just hit the wrong button. However in the time that it took for the four horn blows I had walked right up to the door, and the music started blasting. The door unlocked fine, but I had to jump in to turn of the music?

IM not really sure why the panic alarm would go off and have no idea how the music turned on. I was wondering if anyone else had this issue?

Sounds like a random gremlin to me! But I am curious if anyone else had this happen. Ours hasn't yet.

There could only be one logical explanation... The deceased that owned Jeeps in the past tend to hang around new ones. They like playing tricks like honking horns and blasting music.

You could always tie some garlic around your mirror to ward off any ghosts.

EDIT: you beat me to it bly109

To be honest the ghost explanation had not crossed my mind. But that has to be it. Problem solved, as long as the said ghost has good taste in music

See that, more good solid advice. Who ever said forum's were only full of BS and mindless speculation? That answer is probably much better and more accurate then what the service department will tell you!

Edit: The more I think about it, maybe we should do a write-up...... "the most important part is to make sure the garlic does not block the drilled mirror mod..."

Naw,
Garlic's only good for vampires. Hang some-o-that around your neck when you shopping for your next Jeep. Down south they've got it figured out: pour a little whiskey on the ground beside the driver's side door, light up a good cigar and blow a big smoke ring out de window, throw in a CD of "That Voodoo You Do So Well," and drive off while dat ghost's going for the whiskey and cigar smoke.

No more problems.




(and if there are then use the rest of the whiskey on yourself...)




(Just remember, don't use it in the Jeep )

i believe someone posted that the four honks is how your jeep tells you your alarm was triggered (which shuts off after 20 minutes). i couldn't find the post (a search for alarm weilds way to many topics).
