Could be a wire touching ground somewhere. Sometimes in the steering wheel or maybe in the horn itself. Also the horn relay could have bad connections or the relay internal wiring.
Hope this helps.

SOURCE: 1997 Dodge Caravan Horn and Airbag light

It's the " clock spring " . Dodge has a lifetime recall / replacement on this part. Somehow it controls the air bag and is tied into the horn and cruise control .

SOURCE: 2006 dodge charger transponder key stopped

This means that the programming of the Transponder Key has been corrupted or the Programming data of the Key in ECU ( Electric Control Unit ) has been lost or not responding. You now have to get a new Transponder Key. You can get it on E-bay for $30. After you receive it, reprogram the car to the New Transponder Key to the ECU ( the process in usually given in the instruction manual or in the Service Manual ). Then the car will start perfectly.

1999 Dodge Ram 1500. How to make the horn stop going off constantly.

It is a known issue. Lots of ideas, mine is a to call out an auto-electrician with a pro-grade scan tool computer. When the battery is disconnected, and the key is in the ignition and the doors are closed, the horn shouldn't go off. Make sure you leave the windows open in case it self locks. After that, you need to do a security reset. There are 3 ways here.

Souds like it could be a vapor lock problem. As long as the engine is running, cool gasoline is moving through the fuel system. Once the engine is shut off, if the fuel line at some place is getting hot it can cause the engine to not start or quit after starting. After the fuel line cools normal gas flow is restored. Look at the fuel line as it routes around the engine and see if you an spot this.

If unlocking the Van via the door locks wont disarm the alarm it's because the alarm harness have become detached. The door panel will have to be removed and the harness manipilated manually to disarm the alarm. Or you can have a new remote programed
