It's probably the horn switch in the steering wheel itself. In order for the horn to "toot" the circuit needs to be completed between the battery and the horn, and the switch is the most likely culprit. It could be affected by things as subtle as temperature or pressure changes if it is faulty. I had a horn switch "toot" whenever the daytime temptress were hot (>80) and the evening temps were cool (<50).

If your neon has airbags be sure to disconnect the negative battery terminal (good idea anytime fooling with the electrical system) and wait and hour or so (to let the capacitors dissipate their charges) before tearing into your steering wheel.

On your 1996 Ranger , the horn relay is in your power distribution box in your engine compartment , it is in the 2nd row from the driver's side and it is the first relay at the front end of the PD BOX . Ford recommends disconnecting your battery before servicing any relays/fuses in the PD BOX which means your Ranger would have to re-learn its idle etc.
