The horn on my 95 Oldsmobile Cutless ciera randomly honks when I turn the wheel, start my car, am breaking. Bascially at random moments. Sometimes it just make little honking noises, but other times I can't turn my wheel or stop to make it turn off. I just want to unhook the horn but I'm not sure where it's located. I know there's a control system in the glove compartment but I looked through the manual and cannot find a thing.

This is a clockspring issue that you should repair. If the clockspring is honking the horn, it may next inflate the airbag. You don't want that to happen!

SOURCE: My 99 oldsmobile alero started honking on its own

ok its one of 2 things

1- behind the steering wheel between the column,there is a part called the sir coil,it allows the steering to turn with out getting the wires inside tangled,,this SIR COIL could be bad and making contact when it should not and causing the horn to sound,,,,you would have to remove the steering wheel to remove this part and its easy to mess this up,i would rec a repair shop to fix this,

2-inside the steering wheel is the air bad,which also contains the horn buttons inside,sometimes the air bag swells up and gets hard and applies pressure on the horn buttons inside and cause it to soulnd the horn,,if thats the case you will need a new air bag,,,i would also rc a repair shop for this as messing with the air bag system you can set the air bags off just with static electricity,,,,
but one of those should be your issue i think,,,there is really not way to test those parts unless your a dealer,so i cant tell you horn to test it,you need the special load tools and stuff,,,
Take care

SOURCE: where is the horn located

It is on the drivers' side firewall, mounted almost directly behind the brake fluid reservoir.

2001 VW Bug Horn was randomly honking, Now it wont work at all. Relays and Fuses are good. Should I just replace the horn itself? Not quite sure whats the issue.Want to figure out before making drive

it the horn activates randomly when driving and when the steering wheel is moved , the problem will be the ground contact under the steering wheel
there is a small spring loaded button that runs on a slip ring in the back of the steering wheel and intermittent/ random operation can be traced back to a fault in this area
the horn works so it is good , the fuses and relays are working to make the horn work so they are good ( unless there is a grounding problem with the relay causing the relay to operate and blow the horn)

Horn is randomly honking and cargo door is unlatching.

fix unlatching and alarm gets happy?
find why the latch fails.
this will take close inspection of the latch. and its controls.

Horn keeps honking

Either the horn itself is grounding on something or the hornpad on the steering wheel is making contact when it shouldn't be. Or maybe an aftermarket alarm is causing the problem.

'97 Honda Accord- Horn honks spontaneously; honks several times in a random pattern every few minutes. Turning car off and restarting it seems to temporarily solve problem, but random honking will then...

THE SWITCH IN THE STEERING WHEEL IS PROBABLY GOING BAD OR HAS A LOOSE CONNECTION THAT IS GROUNDING OUT AND COMPLETETING THE CIRCUIT AT RANDOM. I REALLY DONT KNOW HOW OR WHY SHUTTING IT OFF WOULD TEPORARILY FIX THE PROBLEM BUT WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE BELIEVE ME. ALSO TAKE A LOOK AT THE WIRING AND THE HORN ITSELF TO SEE IF EVERYTHING LOOKS OK THERE.

Horn honks when turning, randomly

sounds like a electrical problem. When you turn it is completing the circuit some how, sounds like wires are touching each other and making the horn honk when turning. easiest thing is remove the fuse if possible.

2004 yukon horn problem

The steering wheel needs to pulled off, there is a short somewhere in there. Better have it done, cause if it isn't done right, the air bag can deploy.
