Default Horn honking by itself!

This afternoon the car was sitting out in the drive way when all of a sudden the horn just starts blarring like if someone was just laying on it and it would not stop. I had to disconnect the battery for it to stop. I later pulled the horn fuse for the time being. Any one ever had this happen? Any ideas of what it could be? This is a 98 Z28 by the way. Thanks.

The relay for your fog lights is right beside the horn relay and they both have the same value.

Swap them and see what happens.

The horn switches in the steering wheel are plastic and they break easy, allowing the metal contacts to touch. Try the relay first, then take off the air bag and have a look at the switches.
