If it happens, you can just disconnect the fuse for the horn, or relay. It could be the switch underneat the airbag or clockspring.
SOURCE: alarm just goes off
YOU MAY HAVE A DOOR SWITCH GROUNDING ITSELF. CHECK DOORS AND HATCH SWITCHES
SOURCE: 2005 sebring convertible- horn goes off by itself for 30 seconds
FIrst off the horn's ground works through the steering wheel,so the wire is bare or the end is broken and grounding in a place where it should not. You will have to check the wires for the horn from the fuse box up to the wheel.
your power feed to the headlights and the door locks has an open ( the power is not connected somewhere ) Perform a wiggle test turn on the headlights and lift the hood,find the power distribution box and begin to wiggle the wire harness.Sometimes the chrysler fuse box under the hood get loose inside the power distribution box,it will have to be broken down all the way to the heavy wires comming out of hte box,you can tighten these connections your self.

My 2005 Sebring had the same problem earlier this year. I thought it was getting stuck because of the cold. Now my car will not start, keeps draining the battery. I am told by the dealership that it has a short and is draining the battery but in order to fix it they have to replace the air bag because it is all connected. $600.00 to fix. I am wondering if there is some sort of recall. Haven't been able to find one.
No request- just comments.

Considering how hungry dealers currently are, this sounds like blowing smoke to me.
Check with your local Better Business Bureau to see if these guys can be trusted.
BTW, Consumers Reports lists the Sebring as one of the most troublesome cars.
