The other day, 6-10-08, the horn on my truck started going off for no apparent reason. It is a steady blast and not a on and off blast. It stays on until you open the door or hit the unlock button on the keyless entry controller. Once it goes off though, it will go off again in a few minutes unless you leave the door opened a little bit. The first day it did it, it was hot and the windows were up. Today, 6-13-08, it did it again. It is started to rain, and just a few minutes later, it started to go off. It seems like once you open the door or hit the button, it will go off until the dome lights go out. Then it starts up again. Also can you tell me were the fuse for the horn is located? At least I can pull it to keep the neighbors from getting mad. Thanks
I dont think u can solve this problem without a technician.
If you disconnect the horn from the circuit, I assume this is a electronic horn.
that would atleast get rid of the sound.
are the horn buttons stuck or broken?
Check horn contacts for corrosion
Is it a lights- on warning.
Can you check that all lights are switched off?
Fusebox should be low down near the drivers knees, but also in the engine bay near battery - large black covered box.
May also be connected to an immobiliser or alarm problem.
Hope this helps.
I'm more inclined to think it is a relay in the alarm cercuit that is latching on by mistake.
I think your truck has an alarm system that auto-sets after a preset time - and should give a brief pulse on the horn. As this circuit is faulty, it latches on instead.
The board/ alarm needs replacing or at least checking over.
Hope this solves it for you.
Auto Electricians are the specialist in this area, and should be able to replace the defective board.
I would not attempt this repair yourself.
Hope this will solve your problem

I have already cleaned the contacts to the horn. Still does not help.
