Holdboth the lock and unlosk buttons on your remote simultaneously for about five seconds until the lights flash and horn chirps.that should do it.if not i believe these models used a separate horn for security system.possibly fuse for this horn is bad or the horn itself is bad.to see if this horn works lower drivers window.stand outside vehicle and lock doors with remote.wait about a minute and reach in window and MANUALLY unlock and open door(do not use power door lock button)this should cause the system to activate...horn should beep and headlamps should flash.if horn beeps try my first suggestion.if it doesnt beep and just the head lamps flash check fuses and horn for security system.

My '98 Altima alarm only locks the door no more horn but it does honk when it goes off randomly, the door ajar switch on driver side was faulty( I would push with my finger did not turn off light new...

Replace battery in remote.
Check wires inside of the boot in the door jam (slice hole in boot or pull out of one end. Check wires carefully for bubbles and weak spots from cracking.
Check wires inside door jam or under dash to left hand side carefully with flashlight for bare wires shorting. Feel free to move things around under there a bit to see if things are shorting or what have you.
The fuse box under the hood - inspect underneath of it for corroded wires and or contacts - may take a bit of work to remove it from car.
See if alarm is cleared by using drivers door key as there is a switch in there for the alarm. If this is faulty then this could be your problem beyond the wires in the door jam perhaps.
You have a short or broken wire or this switch in the door is bad.
These are some suggestions of where to start.
Do it in order of easiest but I suggest the door jam wires inside boot is most typical problem especially in colder climates like here in Canada East as the wires freeze and crack after a while.
May or may not be your problem but options.
Let us know with feedback about your progress or solutions plz.

I started my car on day and the next day I unlocked the door and the alarm started and would not stop. My buddy diconnected the horn and the car won't start...help

i believe if you put key in ignition turn it forward and back off twice it should reset the anti theft to start it. or unlock pass door with key and that might reset it. also try the same with back pass door if the other didnt work. hope this helps.

Keyless remote locks the doors but the horn doesn't honk.

Your lock settings were most probably changed from your remote unit. By pressing both lock and unlock keys together for around two to three seconds you can switch between silent mode and horn mode. Hooe that helps...
