Default what is wrong with the alarm on my truck?!

I have a 2001 cummins that has been great so far! For the last month or so when I hit the unlock button on my keys the horn goes off like I hit the panic button. The first few times it happened I thought I accidentally hit the panic button. Then I made sure I hit the unlock and it did it again honking like crazy in the parking lot at work. Anybody had this happen? Ever heard of this? And more importantly how do I fix this irritating problem? Any help is greatly appreciated!

OK thanks I try that. I thought about trying to find a way to disarm the alarm some how. I'll try buying a new module first.

As soon as I can get one I am buying a module so hopefully that will get it worked out. This is the first time I have ever had anything like this happen.
