Ah there was just a thread like this, let me try to find it.

Try changing the remote batteries, a couple guys have had the same thing happen and that was the problem.

Hum that doesn't make sense. There might a ground issue in the panic alarm control relay or something. On other notes, freakin great weather we had today wasn't it?

AHHHHHHH!!!!! MY horn/panic alarm is one unit, so i cant take the panic alarm off. Do you think my horn relay is shot? Is it worth it to try and get a new one and see if this solves the problem??????????

whats a horn relay cost? might be the deciding factor right there. Your asking if its worth doing but thats only a question that you can answer IMO.

worse come to worse ya might cut it out an re-wire in a horn.

They won't cost much at all, I'd be suprised if it was over 10 dollars.
