The year would help. Try playing with your door switch they might have pulled the horn to shut it up.

Check your fuel pressure and get a FSM

The SECURITY light is controlled by the TDS (Theft Deterrent System). The TDS is armed by locking the door with the power door lock button or with the key. It honks the horn if the door is opened while the system is armed. It also disables the starter.

SECURITY light functions:

Flashing - Door is open, system is NOT armed.
Solid - Door is open, system IS armed.
Off - Door is closed or ignition is on.
