What year?

Certain button combinations can activate the horn.... This may be normal. However, there are NO normal CC functions that require two buttons to be pressed at the same time, everything ins supposed to be sequential. See owner's manual for operational instructions.

What he said^^^^^

You should only push one button at a time.... At least it sounds to me like you are doing two at once. Just push ON...then SET/ACCEL . Not both at once.

Now should that not be the case.....
Pull the steeing column cover and check the wiring along the top from the steering wheel all the way down to under the dash. These trucks are known for tugging on the wiring in there and causing breaks and shorts. Easy fix. Just add a little more wire.
