Sounds like the horn button has worn down.

The alarm uses a separate horn which is located high on the passenger side of the engine bay near the firewall. Sounds like you could have a problem with the clock spring coil. Let me know if you want instructions to remove/replace from the Holden VS Service Manual.

What device are you using to try and read the files? They are standard PDF files.

I'm wondering if someone has had the airbag assembly / steering wheel off and forgotten to reconnect the horn on reassembly. Sometimes it's just the little things that are wrong when we look for the hardest things going wrong.
