Default Quick Dumb Question...

Well Im down in Fl stuck at school my 81 is at home in Atlanta. My moms car has been in the shop so I "let" her drive it for a couple days... Anyway some lady was backing out into her so she tried laying on the horn and it didnt work. It just worked fine when I was up there a week ago. Luckily she slammed it in reverse and the old lady missed her by inches. But now when you go over a bump or turn she says the horn is like "beep beep beeping" like its shorted and hitting the wire. So I imagine this is pretty embarrassing to drive... Better her than me! haha.. So I jsut said to pull the fuse for now but since Im not there and pretty new to the car I dont know where that is exactly.??? Help me out! Thanks!

Austin

The Fuse Box Is Above Where Your Left Foot Would Be When Sitting In The Divers Seat. Its Way Up The Firewall. Almost Have To Stand On Your Head To See It

The intermittent horn could also be as simple as contact under the horn button. You may have to re-set the horn button after your mom pounded on it.
