I believe that you will find that they are 2 different horns... did you check the fuse?

:welcome:

Two horns (behind the front bumper) for traffic are connected to the steering wheel horn button.

One alarm horn (next to the battery) is used for alarms and faults in the alarm system. If you hear a beep when you lock the car that means at least one zone is open and not armed.

As Westcoaster said for the traffic horns - start with the fuse.

As for the alarm check to see that the center console lid is closed. If it is not obvious you will need the Durametric software,r a PS2, or PIWIS tester to find out which zone is reporting the fault.

Have you looked in your Owners Manual for fuse locations?

There is a paper with all fuse locations on the back of the fuse panel cover.

Horns fuse is B3.

(if you come back to read this...)

You still might have an alarm zone open. Normally, the alarm doesn't beep when you set it unless a door, trunk, glovebox, or center console is open. There are mods you can get to "beep" it, but not many people have that.

You still might have an alarm zone open.

The center console cubby can seem latched when it is not. Also, the switch that detects it is closed can fail or get errantly disconnected, especially if someone removes the center console.
