My wife experienced a couple problems. While driving, the horn tooted 3 times. This has happened twice. She noticed it wasn't the full blown sound but a weaker one. That same morning while driving, the door locks unlocked, locked and also did this a number of times.
Sounds to me like the key FOB was swinging on the key change and hitting the column. What you are describling is the door locks cycling and not staying locked because the keys are in the ignition. To see what I mean try locking the doors with the keys in the ignition, they won't stay locked till the key is removed on newer vehicles.

If you have a factory remote and the owners manuel there is a solution in the manuel. It tells you how long to hold down the lock button on the remote to reset it so the horn toots when you lock the doors. I do believe it to be 2 seconds or more. So you would lock the doors using the remote and don't let go of the button for at least 2 seconds. Hope this helped.
To turn off the auto locks 1 turn the key on 2 press the unlock button 3 times, 3 turn the key from on to off, 4 press the unlock button 3 times, 5 turn the key back to on and the horn will chirp, 6 press the unlock button, then the lock button. the horn will chirp once if the auto locks are deactivated, or twice one short and one long chirp if activated. 7 turn the key off and the horn will chirp once to confirm exiting the system
Actually you use the horn relay a lot! At least 3 times every time you get lock/unlock your car (6 toots, 2 toots for lock and 1 for unlock right?) ... You just said: "as i clicked my car to lock. It got weaker and weaker until it stopped working" Buy a different brand relay (preferably one not made in China, pay more) and don't expect they WILL last a long time the horns take a lot of power and they have a very dirty feedback to the relay un-like lights. You can dis-able the toots by reading your owners manual.
If the car beeps twice when you unlock the doors, it means there is a fault in the car alarm system. Usually when this happens the red LED lights on the "door lock" button on the top r h side of the dash. Also on mine, when you try to open the passenger door the window does not drop the small amount as usual, but that may be part of my alarm problem.
