    Have you tried using something hard to tap your starter and the solenoid that is on your starter?... That solenoid may be stuck and that could cause it to not start. Let me know what you find out.

The radio and lights usually work when the battery is mostly dead. Check battery and cables to make sure you have a FULL contact. Also do the same with cables and starter. Most parts stores will check battery, altenator, and starter on bench test or in the vehicle for free or extremely cheap. Also you may want to check starter relay for current with an ohmmeter

1999 Dodge Ram 1500. How to make the horn stop going off constantly.

It is a known issue. Lots of ideas, mine is a to call out an auto-electrician with a pro-grade scan tool computer. When the battery is disconnected, and the key is in the ignition and the doors are closed, the horn shouldn't go off. Make sure you leave the windows open in case it self locks. After that, you need to do a security reset. There are 3 ways here.

1999 dodge intrepit have no power in the door locks and radio an when i turn on car you hear the horn beep once and you could hear the vacuum from ac changing what fuse distributes power to all of these...

I believe its fuse number 14. i may be wrong about the number, but its the 10a fuse that sits higher in the fuse pannel than the rest of the fuses. Replace it and everything will work anf your horn wont honk when you start it anymore.

My horn stopped working on my 2001 oldsmobile silhouette. It made a funny noise before it went out. We changed the relay but that didn't do the trick. Any ideas?

The horn itself is dead , that funny noise was it's last breath. You can get a horn from an auto wrecker for just about nothing. It does not necesarilly have to be from the same vehicle , as long as it fits.
