Each of the wires goes back to the relay. When the switches are closed as when they would be with the doors/hood opened), they go to ground, which trips the relay on, which then closes the contact in the flasher, making the horn "beep".
I still believe the relay has stuck closed, keeping the system armed. Be VERY careful until you find/correct the problem. If the relay is stuck closed, it can overheat, and may possibly start a fire, unless the battery runs down first.
You can open the relay back up, and plug it in with the cover off, and see if the contacts are staying closed. If they are, unplug the relay, and see if the contacts open. If they do, then you definitely have a grounded switch pin wire(s) somewhere. If the contacts do NOT open when you unplug it, the relay is stuck. Be sure that the hood, and the doors are both closed while you do this.
If the relay appears to not be stuck, then remove each black wire from the pin switches one at a time, to see if the alarm goes silent. If it stays on with all three switches dis-connected, then you'll have to dig in to see which one is grounded somewhere except where it should be, which is at the switch itself. The easiest way to check that is by removing each circuit wire AT the relay itself. Whichever wire AT the relay turns the horn off is the circuit(wire) that is grounded. From there, you'll either need to trace the wire out to the pin switch, or simply run a new wire from the pin switch to the relay. I'll look at the wiring diagrams, but I'm not sure if the ones I have have the alarm system in them...
It sounds a lot harder than it really is...I hope this makes sense.
