Durango horn honks for no reason

Recently every time I start my 2001 Durango RT the horn honks one time.
If I open the door with the engine running and then close it again the
horn honks. When I shut the engine off and exit the vehicle the horn
will honk either when I close the door or anywhere from 2 to 15 seconds
later. I don't have a security system except what is built into the
Durango by default, nothing optional. The dealer has no clue what could
be causing this. Anybody got any thoughts?

Read the owners manual, It may have something to do with the alarm, I think
if the was an intrusion into your truck, that is how it alerts you of it, im
sure but check it out

I checked the manual when this started. It says that the horn will honk
3 times when I open the door if the vehicle has been tampered with.
Nothing is mentioned about 1 honk at startup and/or closing the door.
Thanks for the reply anyway.

it is possible that your arm/disarm switch is corroded. arm/disarm switch
is mounted behind your two door key clinders and your liftgate
key cylinder. you have to disconnect the connector one by one to find out
which one is faulty

Makes sense to me. I'll try disconnecting them and see if that is the
problem. I'll post back here with the results. Thanks.

what does the remote look like
