Default Electrical problems

I have a 2002 dodge Dakota sport, after turning over my ignition while my truck was already running my truck died, we were puzzled by this fact but soon found it was just a dead battery, now i have a even bigger problem, my computer or wiring is on the fritz, it says my park break is on when its not, my abs symbol comes up, says service 4x4, this is all dash lights (also 4x4 was inspected and working fine before this) other electrical problems are my 4x4 switch is not working, panel instrumentation don't work (such as changing heat from dash to front vents, heat still works) and also my horn goes off whenever i turn the truck on and its just like someone is sitting there holding the horn down, i have heard i may have a short in my ignition switch but im am not really sure, any insight?

I'm really not sure, Did you ever remove the dash? Lots of wires

Not much help, though it would be kinda cool if it was a decepticon, at least it do something other than just screw with my day, anyone else have ideas?
