Q: Truck horn is beeping without truck being turned on. Why?
I have rented a moving truck from Penske. Is a 26-foot truck. That is 12 foot 7 inches tall. In the middle of the night the horn begins to honk and it does not stop. Keep in mind that the truck is not turned on. How do I get this to stop... my neighbors are going to kill me. It is as of someone pressed the panic button on a car clicker..... Only this truck just has a regular key...no clicker. What is the truck alerting about?
