The RKE, do you have another one to try. With a 2000, I would think the button contacts in the RKE fob might be getting a bit worn out. If you have another to try, that would answer the question quick on that.
If you don't have another one programmed for the truck, but can get another ( family member, friend with the same Ford one ) you could program it ( instructions in the owners manual ) and test it, then reenter programming mode to erase it again.

That is what I was talking about, the RKE ( Remote Keyless Entry ) fob for the key chain.
If it does not work at all, try programming it.
These instructions are in your owners manual
I would think at least the panic button should work.
If the locks are not working with the buttons on the door, I would say lock actuator problem. Several threads on the site about them.
The lock actuators have nothing to do with the panic button for the horn, but start with cleaning / replacing the lock actuators.
