    Horn Wont Stop Honking

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    This is really weird. My horn won't stop honking while I'm driving. For the past day, whenever I start my car up, my horn is now prone to going off randomly for about 5 minutes for a length anywhere between 5-20 seconds. If I hit in the steering wheel the horn doesnt go off either. It just comes and goes randomly. Whats the deal?

    The horn actually has a constant ground. The positive is switched through a relay only when the ignition is on.

    It is pretty ridiculous. The first time it happened I was like wtf? I'm not hitting the horn. Today though, it was great. Some bitch in a volvo was driving shitty in a parking lot and just through it into reverse as I was behind her. I was like what is she doing, and wouldnt you know it, my horn starts blaring. Then she goes forward and my horn goes off, and then she goes into reverse again because she sucked at parking and the horn goes again. My horn is the man.
