Why does horn keep honking by itself, whether in park or I'm driving it, but won't work when I try to honk it myself?

The lights occasionally start flashing.

SOURCE: The horn does not honk anymore?

hi from the uk first thing to check is fuse? in fuse/relays box if you check handbook it will identify location and amp of fuse? if fuse ok? then find horn and check wire connection is clean/secure then have someone hold horn button on whilst you tap the actual horn body? if horn works momentarily then ? the horn is faulty you can obtain horn from motor stores not dealers if you want to ? and diy the job no problem if horn is not readily visible ? check under front wheel arches? and in font of radiator below front cross member brace above rad n/s or o/s? hope one of these suggestions help you and inspires to diy best wishes from uk

SOURCE: my battery is dead and

Try disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes. then when you reconnect the battery lock and unlock the drivers door with the key, door closed. this will on some models deactivate the anti theft system. but it must be done with the hood closed and all the doors closed and from outside with the key. mike

SOURCE: the horn in my 2003 pontyiac grand am wont stop honking

you will find a fuse labeled HORN and a relay labeled HORN in the under hood fuse flock. Pull either of those to stop the horn from blowing.

If you need info on how to fix it i can help. You will need a test light or a voltmeter.

You can also try swapping the horn relay with another relay in the fuse block that is the same. If the horn works normally than the relay is bad and will need to be replaced.

SOURCE: Horn honks when unlocking doors.

If your vehicle is equipped with a factory keyless entry system and you have the owner's manual, there should be a section in the manual describing how to change your options with your system. But if you have an aftermarket system, which I am thinking this the case, you will have to manually go into your dash under your steering wheel and cut the wire going to your horn from the security system. Once you have accessed your wiring underneath your steering wheel, there is a main harness with a bunch of wires going to the steering wheel. In this harness you will find a DARK GREEN/VIOLET small gauge wire and you should see another wire tapping into it probably coming from the security module. Just cut it off but leave the DARK GREEN/VIOLET untouched and this will eliminate the horn honks.

Horn started honk when the start button is pushed

bad horn switch or security system when nuts.
you will need the FSM to diagnose this, complex it is.
owning a hybrid means , close by toyota mechanics. all the time.
complex to the extreme. read the FSM , it NY telephone book sized.
be the first clue.

but can be diagnose. we look at the 2 inputs to the horn relay
is either active, at horn honk time
if its the horn line then its bad
if its the security system that is bad.
if its a PITA, pull the relay. end honks for ever. or horn wire.

Constant door unlocking, random honking

There is probably an aftermarket security system on the vehicle or an aftermarket remote start - this doesn't really sound like a GM problem.

99 malibu horn honks shifting into D or R

wires from the horn run down the steering column and pass the area where the shift linkage is also in the column. its either a loose wire, or a chafted wire inside the column. Be VERY careful working on this if you have airbags. they must be disarmed before you work on the column.
