Is this happening when its rained or all the time even when its been dry for days?
I had an f-350 diesel (2001) that started out with little things going on and off by theirselves horn,radio blower to ac (even when the truck was not running, no keys in the ignition) in the middle of the night the horn would start blowing. I had the batteries checked and it said they both needed replacing, I replaced lots of things before I realized water was getting in from the front window somewhere and getting into the dash and shorting everything out.
Needless to say I resealed the window, still had the problem, I had a company reseal it, still had the problem, I put plastic behind everything and still had it.
I swear the truck was possessed! I couldnt drive it for days after it rained cause everything was so messed up.
I had to get rid of it on a nice dry day.
i hope this isnt your problem.

My shot on the gas burner is bad O2 sensors for the random check engine light. They usually go about that time and are a "routine" maintenance repair item. The other stuff,, you have a gremlin from WWII hiding under the hood.
