Narrative:
Landed runway 2R at pdk. Exited runway and tower cleared us to cross runway 2L to ramp and at that time the gear up warning horn started honking (due to a shift in micro-switch while taxiing later found out), so crossed runway 2L to ramp which is adjacent to where I exited runway 2R and crossed runway 2L. There is a taxiway which runs in front of FBO ramp, but I did not contact ground since I understood to taxi to ramp. Horn was still honking. FBO said ground was trying to contact me. I called tower to clarify with horn still honking. Tower said no problem, they would straighten ground out, that they had said to ramp as I repeated my understanding of their instructions on my call back with horn honking. No conflicts or problems resulted, unless ground thought I should have called them upon crossing runway 2L.
