go to www.alldatadiy.com and buy the manual online.

sounds like the body control module has gone bad, or you've gotten water or something down into it.

but, it could be a jammed door lock switch, or door jamb switch dirty too. But that won't explain the horn, unless the van has the alarm and keyless entry (which won't work if a door lock button is held down either), but it wouldn't just blow, it would do the beep-beep-beep.... thing.

try this, remove the drivers master switch and unplug it and see if it all clears up. if it does, check all the door lock buttons and the door jamb pin switches. You might have spilled something/broken something or a switch may just have come apart.

Hope that helps!
