Truck Alarm

okay today i went out duck hunting and i was sittin in my blind and all the sudden i hear a truck honking it's horn, and i knew i was the only truck there so i figured it must've been my truck alarm, so i go up to it and sure enuff it starts honking again. it's been honking all day long for no reason! i had to unplug the battery just to get it to stop! what can i do? can i fix it or do i have to get it removed and if it gets removed will i still have keyless entry??
94 ranger auto matic, lumbar seats, power everything, stock car alarm.
thanks

I had a similar problem with an old explorer with the panic feature. It would randomly start honking. We sold it though.

I recall a TSB, not sure what years but it was a problem with the hood pin-switch.

My Ranger does the same thing, random!

It did it a few days ago and it did it a few minutes ago, prompting me to search here, again.

It has been happening for a couple years.

In 94 remote and any alarms were dealer adders and not true factory. With this in mind, carefully scope out any conspicuous mods to wiring harnesses.

Ditto on my '97 XLT. The alarm goes off randomly. I'll deactivate the alarm and then immediately hit the remote "lock" button twice. I only get one honk of the horn which indicates that there are no partially ajar doors. However, the alarm still goes off randomly.

The only way I can keep it from happening is to lock the doors manually. Ugh. Anyone know what the TSB is?
