Default Honking horn issue

Customer states that after locking his C8, came back 3 hours later and when he unlocked it the horn went off. Finally was able to shut it off. When he backed the C8 happened again. Then when he went forward, again. While driving, making a right turn happened again. Has anyone experienced this issue?

So, we have a "Sensitive Horn Issue". Notice I did not call it The Chinese Horn Syndrome.

Gotta bring it in to dealer for service. Then the Corvette team guys can figure it out and maybe fix it in future builds.

At least that's what the guy i speak to is imploring me to pass along.

Why don't you post and EXPLAIN your headlight issue in the C8 Problems thread, not the honking thread.

People having issues with the horn going off, not saying this will work but check for over inflated tires... was reading another thread and the horn will sound if tires are over inflated

worth a try

these cars have too many electronics and sensors..

I certainly did, but perhaps that's because you made no point at all.

You asked about a some undefined headlight issue in an obscure honking thread. Did you really expect to get a response to that question?

If you do some 'percussive maintenance' on the steering wheel, does it stop?
