06 Ram giving code B236F

[JHyneman]

I was out to work around 6 am and I followed my usual routine untill I was suddenly alarmed by the sound of my horn blowing the light in the truck bright as if the door was open and the cargo light on. I have the st package meaning no alarms, no remote, manual door locks and manual windows. The temp out side about 24 degrees. I tried to shut everything off to no avail. I let the truck sit about a minute and the horn stopped. I was able to start the truck but I was unable to get any of the lights to cut off. The dash showed me a open door. I checked all the doors all are closed. This has happened to me 2 times now both on a monday when the truck had been sitting most of the day before. I decided to read the code which was B236F My superchips reader didn't recognize the code. Any I deas on what is going on. The dealer recommended me checking the Batterys. They said that one battery could be failing. Any Ideas. This is getting obnoxious, especially at 6AM.

I checked the code again It read B236F. I don't recoginze any coded that end with a F. I cleared the code today and will check it tomorrow to see if it is back.

I checked the code reader again and no code appeared. I don't know what the deal is. I guess it was just a fluke.

I know this is an old thread but the exact same thing happened to me this past weekend, twice. The second time it didn't catch me quite so off guard. I realized that it did all this before I put the key in the ignition, I had just touched it metal to metal.

Could it be static electricity?

I have the same truck, ST no frills, the temps were in the low 30's. Kind of freaks you out.
