I tried to honk the horn and it did one normal, short honk and went silent. I'd like to fix it myself as mechanics are super expensive in this country.

First I'm not a Dodge mechanic.
* Check your warranty. Call for setrvice.
*** following is for information only.***
* horn switch is stuck. See if you can pry it back up.
* For multiple horn switches (both sides of steering wheel) check both switches for "mushy operation" or stuck in one position.
* Horn RELAY not working (all makes); https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76xR7QGPF1M
* The drained battery is probably due to a short in the electrical system
* Pull the "Horn" fuse to stop the horn (or pull out the horn wire to the horn itself. Leave it disconnected until you can confirm the bad switch or a short in another part of the system.

The button is shorting out, remove the horn wire till it can be fixed .

Could be a short in the steering wheel or column. Or a faulty horn relay.
You may need a wiring diagram to trace the circuits from the relay.
Usually the black wire is the ground and the green is voltage from the relay.

very possible the Key fob used has a short and when you hit the lock button? It transponded panic mode

Check your owners manual, it will show you how to reset factory settings using the radio under settings.

1. First check the alternator maybe you need to replace it.
2. The horn honks when you turn the steering wheel because the wire inside the steering wheel is not fix.
3. Visit a good mechanic and good electrician to check the alternator and the wirings.

It sounds like you have a short circuit in the steering wheel horn pad. You can have someone unplug your horn until you can have it fixed. That is if you don't need your horn. This is a totally temperary fix. Because of the airbag in the steering wheel, you should bring it to a qualified mechanic. Sorry

behind the airbag is the horn switch i dont reccomend checking the the switch unless you know how to disarm the srs systems but i accidently leaned on it once pushed the plate in and when i pushed on it it went off but if i took my hand off it it would go back on otherwise their could just be a simple short

Look for a horn fuse, if fuse ok, look for a relay, or have someone blow it wile You tap horn with hammer, perhaps wet also electrical contact on steering wheel

The alarm horn and the normal horn are not the same unit. Seems like your normal horn is bad.
