Double blipping horn drives me nuts!

Please tell me if I can diagnose which microswitch or what else do I need to replace as this thing is driving me literally nuts!

It always blips once when I lock it, it sometimes blips twice when I unlock and sometimes it does not even want to lock and just double blips the horn and stays open.

The worst part is sometimes when I drive it, it seems to be trying to lock or unlock the locks quickly, then it gives the double horn sound and lights the interior for a second or two. People give me some strange looks as it seems as if I was driving around in my 911 and blipping the horn to get even more attention!

What can I do?

That is the security system telling you that something is still open - check your center console (open and close again). If that's not it, pop the hood/trunk and anything else you can think of and close again.

Yet another case of " Do you have a Durametric"?
It should be standard fitment to one of these cars. The Durametric will point you to the switch or micro switch that is not working correctly.
