Not that this helps with your primary problem, but it is very easy to disable the horn chirp when you lock the doors via the remote. With a Limited, I think you can control that setting through the EVIC. I have a Sport, which doesn't have the EVIC, but it was really a 10 second procedure to turn it off.
Kinda related - I did have to have the switch for the power windows replaced recently, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if the lock switch might need to be replaced.
Mind telling the procedure for disabling the chirp on the sport? I came from an explorer sport, 1 hit of the lock button would lock, the second would cause the chirp, which I really liked. I just don't like the chirp on the first time, especially when I am getting home from work at 12:30am and don't want to bother the neighbors.
Hope this helps.
From pp22-24 of the Owner's Manual:
Sound Horn with Lock

For vehicles not equipped with the EVIC, perform the following steps:
1. Press the Lock button on a programmed (i.e. functional) transmitter for at least 4 seconds, but no longer than 10 seconds. Then, press the Panic button while still holding the Lock button.
2. Release both buttons at the same time.
3. Test the feature from outside the vehicle by pressing the Lock button on the transmitter.
4. Repeat these steps if you want to return this feature to its previous setting.
