H3 Having trouble programming horn & lights to honk and flash when I lock doors.

[Nico]

Since I've gotten my H3 I've been trying to get this little problem fixed but have found no solution. I want my horn and lights to honk and flash when I lock and unlock the doors. I did as my owners manual stated:
1.Put key in lock position
2.Held lock & unlock buttons until the DIC lights up.
#2 is where I'm having my problems because the DIC never lights up, the only thing that goes on is the alarms dummy light.
Any help is appreciated, and thanks in advance.

To clarify - isn't #2 to "Press and hold the power door lock button for about three seconds until the DIC display shows the current door lock mode"? Not sure what you've tried, but it likely requires pressing lock for the three seconds, with the door closed.

Do you have an aftermarket alarm installed, by chance? Not sure what you mean by the "alarms dummy light"

I just tried what you said, and it said
Lock 1, Lock 2, or Lock 3... Not sure what those are but my current setting is at Lock 1.
In the manual it mentions RKE and choosing RFA: 1,2,3, or 4. I'll post an upload from the manual in a second. And thank you for the help!

I'm trying to get RFA 3 I've followed this step by step still no luck, I must be messing up something so simple!

I was reading the wrong instructions - you posted the correct ones, sorry. Not sure what to recommend as I've never tried to change mine, but others have and hopefully they will chime in.

Also, does your remote look like this? Just want to make sure we're dealing with the OEM product and not aftermarket.

Thank you anyways, hopefully a tech will get back soon. Yes that is my remote, it says Delphi on the back.
