Horn gone crazy!
Just drove back to work, and it's raining cats and dogs here. I park it, and in a few minutes, the horn starts blowing continuously. Nothng I could do, with the fob, or by starting and shutting down could stop it.
Had to pull the fuse for the horn, but it also feeds the alternator sensor, so now I get a service charging system on the DIC.
For now, I 'll leave the fuse out until it's dry. Anybody think it's just a wet short somewhere? Never done it before.
Ideas?

You could probably pull the horn relay (micro relay #34 in the fuse box) and temporarily eliminate the problem without getting the DIC message.
Check the relay for failure as well, while you're at it.

I didn't think of the relay. Anyway, after a full day to dry out, I plugged the fuse back in, and all is good. Must have been water.
