Electrical short? Weird problem with my Fit.

Electrical short? Weird problem with my Fit.
I hope someone can provide some insight on this problem...
Today I drove to work, parked. 2 hours later I left for a meeting and drove over to it. I pulled into a parking spot, put it in park, and while grabbing keys my horn went off on it's own. I figured I accidently hit the panic button, but it was a constant horn...not beep beep beep. It stayed on after I removed the keys.
I put the key back in and started the car and it stopped. Shut the car off and went to my meeting.
Came back to leave, and started the car. Horn on full again. I messed around, hitting the horn, etc. and finally just drove off with the horn blasting. Drove about 3 miles and turned off the AC and the horn turned off. Hasn't happened since. (I was going to yank the fuse out, but...).
Now, my dome light will not turn off in the middle position. I've looked at what I felt might be obvious fuses, but everything looks normal. There are no warning lights, etc. on, and everything seems to work, other than the dome light not turning off like it should. (It's now in the off position, but...)
Any ideas? If something minor, I'd rather do it here than driving 50+ miles to the dealer. A bit concern if it's electrical since steering and throttle are electric, but like I said I haven't noticed anything else.

Yeah, I did that. Turns out I had a bad shock sensor (alarm....hence the horn) and a loose pin (dome light).
2 hours driving, 2 hour wait, all the coffee and doughnuts I can eat.....not to bad. Plus they had a tricked out Mugen Fit in the lobby. (No, they didn't let me drive it - I asked).
