Ok, some background. I have a fully loaded 93 limited. Here in Iowa it has gotten warm and wet very fast this year. Friday night I drove back from my Mother-in-Law's house through some mild to moderate rain. Truck drove fine all the way home. Parked in my driveway and went inside. After about 10 min of me being inside the horn starts going off, and not the rapid fire or normal alarm sound, its on steady.

So i grab my keys and walk to the window thinking that the alarm tripped for some unknown reason. Tried locking and unlocking, pressing the panic button ect to get it to stop with no luck. Ended up outside 11:30 at night trying to make the horn stop. Followed the sound to the horn and got it unhooked, which stoped the noise from having more of my neighbors call the cops on me.

However with the horn disabled the headlights will not turn off. For right now I have the battery unhooked untill I can get a better look at things tommorow night after I get off of work.

In reading through the posts, im thinking that the RAP module may have crapped out or gotten wet. My question here, is can I simply unplug the module and use the normal door locks until i can pinpoint the problem, and stop the water coming in or replace the module, or will unplugging the module cause other problems? like the truck not starting.

Also, what dose this module look like, I Know its in the rear quarter back by the 4x4 module, but there are a number of modules that i can get my hands on back there, and i want to make sure im pulling the correct one.
