I've had some weird electrical things in the first two years of ownership but this just happened to me 2 days ago and I was wondering if anyone has seen this. I parked at the hotel we were staying at and turned the truck off. Got out of the truck and shut the door and got the 3 beeps from the horn as if the engine was still running. I looked at the cluster and it said the key fob has left the vehicle. I got back in and started it up, shut it off, and it went back to normal.

The 3 beeps means the FOB was still in the vehicle when you tried to lock the doors or it detected that. Could have just got confused. Has it been raining a lot?

No not really raining more than usual, it was just odd. Keys were definitely in my pocket. I had another instance about a year and a half ago where the radio actually stayed on when I turned the truck off and restarting and shutting it off again didn't fix it. I just walked away and came back ten minutes later and luckily it had shut off haha.
