I had 2 rude awakenings this past weekend, my truck's horn was going full blast in the night. Hopefully my neighbors didnt hear!
The first time I pulled the relay from under the hood and brought it in the house with me. The beeping stopped as soon as I pulled the relay. The next morning I put my relay back in and didn't have any issues -- the horn worked as it should.
The second time it happened (2 nights later) I tried fiddling with the horn button on the steering wheel, but I couldn't feel the switch/contacts engaging... and the steering wheel cover popped off. I pulled the relay again and went back to bed.
This morning I went out- with the relay still unplugged I could feel the steering wheel button pressing/engaging (I could not feel this the previous night). I put the same relay back in and once again all is well.
Seems to me that this is related to the extra cold temps we have been seeing lately. I don't think this is a faulty relay- but the horn switch itself. Does anybody have good instructions to replace? I checked through about 3 pages of search results on here but couldn't find anything.
