Phantom horn issue

Wondering if anyone else has heard of or had this issue, I've searched high and low to no avail.

I lock the truck and about 4 hours later I hear 5 or 6 quick, short horn honks. This happens, as far as I know, every day. I've owned the truck for a couple months ('08 F250 6.4) and have no other issues.

WTF.

Does it have a aftermarket alarm system? Search around, you may have one and not know it.

Pretty sure it's stock, I have the OEM remotes and was able to disable the horn on lock and unlock using steps provided in another post.

I'm wondering if it's too sensitive, yesterday I flipped down my wiper (was up because I was expecting snow) and it did the same thing...

Factory equipped alarm doesnt have shock sensor so its probably an aftermarket or dealer installed alarm installed. If it was a factory alarm you may have a hood switch failing, which the dealer could tell by monitoring the alarm data with his scanner.
