So my Horn Started Honking Itself....
I awoke this morning to what i thought was some d-bag trying to wake his friend up. But i look out on my car and see its my horn thats blowing. Not an alarm or anything, like an electrical short thats causing the horn to go off.....constantly.
I removed the relay under the hood that is attached to the horn, but i dont know if its the problem.
So has anyone hear anything like this? is the relay bad? or do i have a short?

Haha thats the factory alarm clock feature from Mitsu, you didn't know?! Is the button stuck on your remote maybe? Never heard of something like that. I work at a car dealership as a body shop guy and have had cars come through that the horn honks itself when you turn the wheel, but never spontaneously.

^^^ hahah. who doesnt want to toot their own horn. i have to be honest, when i saw the title to this thread i couldnt stop laughing. and after reading that your horn just honks, my coworkers came and asked me if i was ok. im just wondering if im the first to make the connection between your car...... and herbie the love bug. didn't herbie do some gangster off road crap in races? what you have just bought is really Herbie 2.0 EVO style. "***** it's been raining for 3 days, come drive me..... i need gas (honk honk honk) i can do this all day. this relationship is sooo one sided (honk honk honk) etc."

I used to live in some townhomes where some guys crappy Toyota had that randomly happen all the time! One night it was honking uncontrollably for over 10 minutes like @ 2/3am! OMG, I was about to walk over all pull his battery out.

hahaha when i was like 13 i was with my friend in his car with his dad driving and his dad honked the horn at someone in his toyota and the horn got stuck down so it was blaring while we were driving. Me and my friend were laughing so hard when his dad was punching the steering wheel to make it stop ahahahha

The three days of rain seems likely to be the key to this problem. Water may have gotten into the wiring. I remember but can't find a thread where water was getting into the loom of this Evo somewhere in the engine compartment and running inside the electrical tape wrapping to inside the car and had corroded the fuse panel. So, I'd look for something like that.
