Default Horn/Alarm problems

When I lock my doors with my fob (and another fob), the horn/alarm will sound.
I have a window valet and removed it, the horn still sounds.
When I walk away, (in passive mode) the horn sounds
I cleared all the codes, the horn still sounds - no codes thrown
Driver's door open, NO horn
Driver's door closed, horn sounds when I lock it
Help....please

Use the Options button (I think that is what it is labeled as) on the right side of the instrument cluster and you can set it to where when you lock the door the horn does not chirp. There are also other setting in there for you to select.

It was the right side marker light that seemed to be the problem, I'm not an electrics guy and can't tell you the details except to say I replaced the LED's with stock one at a time, ( the ultimate culprit was the right-side marker light) and the lock/horn issue disappeared. Very strange!
