Re: Horn just goes on its not the alarm so took horn use...
- The horn relay contacts are welded or the armature is stuck on. Replace the horn relay.
- The horn switch on the steering wheel is stuck on (this is generally rare, but not a do-it-yourself repair because of the risk of exploding the air bag if you don't know how to safe it).
- The horn switch wiring insulation has been cut and there is a short. This would probably be intermittent.
- If you have a factory alarm, there may be a solid-state switch that takes its input from both the driver's horn switch and the alarm module. This switch could be shorted - it's probably a simple transistor, but may be mounted on the alarm module board. If so, disabling the alarm would not stop the horn unless the module is physically unplugged.
