Default Program mode seems to not take.

Hi everyone!
I searched the forum but couldn't find a similar issue. I'm trying to turn off the horn on lock. 2002 Trans Am. Followed the instruction in the owners manual to the "T". Chose option 4 (lights only) but after putting back the fuse, the car still sounds the horn on lock. Have been through the procedure in the owners manual 4 times but still the horn sounds on lock. Now when I go in program mode it makes 4 chimes showing It thinks it is in lights only mode. Before it made one or two (I forget which) that were factory mode.

What am I doing wrong? I must be missing something because the PCM makes the chime for the option I chose, but the option does not work. Grrrrrr. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark.

Default Disable horn on lock

Hi All!
I have been following the instructions in the owners manual to change the lock settings. Factory default is to flash lights and sound horn. I changed it to option 4, which is just lights. But the change does not seem to work, even though when going back into program mode it makes 4 chimes signifying that option 4 is in effect. Yet the horn still sounds when the doors are locked.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark.

The next day, with doing nothing. The change took affect. Only the lights flash. Why did it take hours for the change to take effect? Well, it works now.
