Default Stuck Hood/Horn

A few minutes ago, my horn just started blaring. At first I thought it was the alarm, I just locked it with a new remote, but that wasn't it. I opened the car and banged on the steering wgeel a couple of times and it stopped. Big problem now is that when I tried to open the hood, the release would not work on the drivers side. the pass side popped ok. Is there a secondary release somewhere? I'm not going to be using the car for a few days so I was going to disconnect the batt until I take it to the dealer for service on Thursday. Thanks

Not sure about the hood but my horn did the same thing. The problem is the metal contact terminals are sticking togethor. To fix it you have to replace the air bag. You can't get to the horn part in the airbag assembly, I tried. I wasn't going to spend the money so I pulled the airbag off and disconnected the horn wire. That way the alarm will still work. Now if somebody pulls out in front of me I use the horn that I call the middle finger.
