First the antenna kept going after the car turned off, removed it . Next the horn started blowing non stop , unhooked all 4 horns . then the battery went dead , replaced it and it still drains overnight . can it be an open relay or what any ideas

The antenna has failed & needs to be replaced

No relays,you said open,open means no connection
or current flow.

Relays seldom fail but sure are talked about more than face book
or I-pads

You provided no vehicle,make,model,etc

A bad horn switch,clock spring under steering wheel ?

Some times you have acc modules that time out after the
drivers door is opened,they fail & thing stay energized
& battery goes dead after about 3 days

SOURCE: security system/battery

plz check the following and update me
1. Fuel (To be exact proper air/fuel ratio, normally it is about 14/1)
2. Spark (in appropriate moment)
3. Proper timing (the valves should open and close only in appropriate time)
4. Compression in the cylinders (Normal compression is 120 - 170 psi. The engine won't start if the compression is lower than 70 - 80 psi.)

SOURCE: Horn Problem

All VW's have electrical problems sounds like a relay switch isn't working properly or you have a serious eletrical problem. And if's a 1.8 turbo boy are you in for a headach. That cars a nightmare I know cause I've worked on these cars and VW won't recall any of them. Best thing to do is try to fix it and dump it.

SOURCE: 2003 Hyundai Tiburon. The horn will start blowing

There are a few possibilities:

First of all, don't use the factory alarm. If the problem disappears, then the alarm is causing the horn to activate.

If that doesn't help, then verify the horn switch itself. Probably best to have your dealer do this because it's very close to the airbag.

If it's not that, then it may be the dreaded BCM starting to fail. The BCM, or "Body Control Module" is a dealer only component.

My Passat 2006 kept draining battery overnight, after a new battery & alternater still drains new battery overnight? Can't seem to find the problem? Any idea?

You need to disconnect the battery negative lead and place an ammeter between battery and lead, note the current draw with every thing switched off, then start removing one fuse at a time from fuse box and see if ammeter drops significantly if not refit fuse and remove the next one and repeat this until you find the one that causes a significant drop, then you will have found the circuit that is draining the battery, you need to check this circuit to find cause of power draw and repair as required, let me know how you get on

My 1994 Subaru SVX was having issues starting. We fixed the relay, and reworked some wiring issues. Now it starts, but the battery drains rapidly. I believe it to be the fault of the Theft Security System....

Rapid draining is usually caused by a shorted diode in the alternator. Disconnect it and see if the drain stops. The theft system would cause a much smaller drain and take overnight. But here's the way to track down a battery drain.

2003 - RX300 I'm tring to change the battery,when I connect the negative terminal, the horn blows and won't stop... I've turn the key to start and nothing happens, the horn keeps blowing.......

I would check to see if this is a relay problem for the horn. Remove the relay for the horn and see if you can swap it with another to confirm it is bad. If with another relay it doesn't stay on you no it was just a relay so go get a new one. The only other thing could be a security issue and when you discharged the power by unhooking battery the vehicle is acting like it has been broken into. But i would say it's a relay problem. Good Luck.

Draining Battery overnight

I had the same problem the day I bought the car. My batter was acting weird. Attempts to jump start it resulted in the hood popping open, a buzzing sound underneath the real seat, and my fuel door popping open!

After all of this It turns out the cable to the battery terminal was defective and it was draining the battery and causing these other issues. They changed the red cable and the issue went away.
