help, demon possessed horn!
the weirdest thing happen with my car tonight while i was washing it. when i came out to get started on the car....i heard what sounded like a drippin, tickin noise commin from around the coolant overflow. i figured no big deal, coolant was dripping in it and making the noise. after a while, the noise progresseed to almost a popcorn like sound, and then gradually got louder and started making a groaning now. after about 5 minutes of this, my horn started going off on its own. not beeping, but a steady blow like someone was mashing in it and not letting off. the keys werent in the car and the doors were unlocked so i dont think it was an alarm issue.
i hit the steering wheel inside and the horn turned off, then started back on its on a few minutes later, so i finally just unhooked the battery and called it a night before i woke up the neighborhood. whats your opinions on this? bad ground, bad horn? let hear it!...

Well if it happened while you were washing it maybe you got water somewhere you shouldnt have. I would check the connectors at the horn and check the fuse/relay box. Swap the horn relay with another and see if maybe the relay is faulty.

Well, if you hear a dripping near the overflow that is right above where the factory horns are.
Sounds like they got wet somehow. Go underneath, unbolt the black plastic from the passenger side and you'll see the horns hanging there. I'd unplug the horns and blow them out with air (compressor or a can of duster)...
