If both of the wires from the fuel sensor are grounded, then it is obviously not connected. Does your horn normally sound for a second when you turn the key on? If so then you have a 3 wire horn. They can malfunction and alarm even though there isn't a request for it to sound.
The alarm never sounds on start up so I guess I have a 2 wire? I'll start her up again and report back.
