Bought my son a car that had been previously in a minor front end collision, after about a month or so horn would go off in the night for no apparent reason. The hood was bent up slightly on the drivers side where the switch was, I disconnected the hood switch and no more random middle of the night horn disruption. Finally fixed the hood and reconnected the switch, all good now.

It was alarm system, not horn

I knocked over a coffee sitting on the dash. The liquid poured over the steering column and the horn started to blare. I took out the fuse to stop the horn, then blew out the steering column and air bag component with compressed air. After a few days in warm temperatures, I blew it out again and replaced the fuse. All good.

Thank you so much for this clear troubleshooting guide. My horn wouldn't stop beeping on my 2010 Honda Fit after I got in and turned on the ignition. And the doors locked me in, but fortunately the windows would still roll down, so I was able to get out. I'll troubleshoot as much as i can before taking it to the mechanic. They just fixed the AC a few weeks ago and I'm thinking they screwed something else up in the process, given the number of screwups they did all the way around.

I have an older Buick where the horn button is part of the airbag itself. Over time, the vinyl shrank. At first, the horn was sensitive, then it would go off by itself with temp change. I disconnected it and put an external switch since otherwise the airbag itself would have to be replaced.

Great video, thanks! My '97 Mazda 626LX 2.0L's (only 35k on the car) horn went off all by itself at 2:00AM on the 4th of July. I was fast asleep in the house, got a call from a neighbor telling me my car's horn was sounding. I was actually relieved because being the 4th of July in an urban setting, I was instinctively nervous that he was going to tell me that my house was on fire!! Disconnected the battery and got a few more hours sleep. When light outside I reconnected the battery and the horn was not sounding. Now, 11 days later no evident problem, but of course I have to wonder if the horn just won't go on by itself, so I stashed a socket set and pliers in the car so I can disconnect the battery or pull off the horn relay in short order. The Crime Guard car alarm has been iffy for a few years. Sometimes it works and other times it does not, just a head scratcher. Seems unrelated to the horn problem (the car alarm does not use the horn but a separate speaker-like affair, it's one of those sing-song all over the place alarms), but who knows?

I have an air horn that once in a while doesn’t come on. I sprayed the horn with WD40 and got it to work. I had previously put in a new relay and fuse. The shop that originally installed it said it was the clock spring but I read a tip online about the WD40 fix.

Thank you-at first just wiggling the wheel stopped it-but after I left in another car to the store-it went off again. So I opened the hood to try to remove the fuse…there’s no relay in there and I couldn’t find another space for the horn… So that’s weird. I stopped it by punching the wheel when I was driving down the road bc it started again without warning and I couldn’t think of anything else while I was driving… 😂 it actually worked; albeit I had a boxing match with it… I have no clue what the “wonderful lot” I got it from did to it…but they definitely took advantage of me… So-for now; punching the wheel square in the middle works… I will also disconnect the wires as you suggested… So does the airbag just pop off or is there a tool?

@stevebutler812 11 ай бұрын

Moisture in the horn switch? Thanks again 1A. Pulled the horn fuse, and it stopped the horn. Did that twice. Went on after a few minutes. Found a relay that would not interfere with operation and checked this. However, I had washed the heck out of the car the day before and I think... maybe, just maybe... I got water into the steering wheel. I had let the car sit in the sun all day yesterday to dry, and had disconnected the battery because I was using water / soaps on the dashboard, interior, carpets, and did not want an Air Bag deployment. Today, letting it sit in the sun, no key in ignition, 98 Degrees outside, letting it continue to dry so I can detail the plastics, etc., the horn went off. So, now I'm running the heater, parked in direct sunlight, drying out the interior, and it's been running almost an hour: hot as heck inside. I think it might have been moisture in the steering area / horn switch? I'll update it if it goes off again.

Great Video as always. Many Thanks Just a quick question My daughter has a 2001 Ford Edge with aftermarket Kenwood Digital stereo w/GPS. She's owned the car for about 4 years and 1 day going to the store the radio worked but when she came out of the store the radio never turned on. The whole screen is black. No radio and no GPS. I did check for fuses and everything was good. Do you have any suggestions on what I can do to fix this for her?? I don't want her to buy a new radio as I think it should be something simple that I am missing. Thank you again for all your help. God Bless

I would take the radio out and using some power and ground wires, see if it turns on from the car battery.

Mine is stuck on, I suspect a bad clock spring. Horn is off when I unplug harness at base of steering column. Horn stays on when I unplug horn/cruise buttons into clock spring under airbag. Relay good. Can’t find where broken clockspring would cause horn to stick on, thoughts? 94 F-150.

My horn relay seemed to the the cause of my problem as when I take it out, the beeping stops. I got a new relay and it’s hit or miss. Sometimes I use my horn and it’s fine, other times the horn sticks even if I just lock up my car. Anyone ever have a run in with this problem?
