Default Rev Engine = Horn Beep + Parking Lights Flicker WHY???

When I started my car this afternoon I noticed that when I revved the engine my horn would beep and my parking lights lit up. It did this for about 2 minutes. After saying @#$% a couple hundred times the horn beep and light flicker just stopped. Any ideas on what would cause my car to act like it was possessed today? :reddevil

wow. that is a tricky one... and I cannot be very specific.... this is just way to broad a problem.

I would start at the main chassis harness. there could be a loose or bared wire... from there, check all the relays...

ick... this is potentially nasty. lets all hope it does not happen again.

It has to have something to do with the VATs. Otherwise the horn and blinkers would not have been activated.

Start checking there.

Good luck.

Mine does that in a parking garage, but it is not my car that the horn honks and the lights flicker ;). I like seeing who has the alarms armed :D.
