Re: horn randomly honking...

I would check to see if the contacts in your horn button are worn out causing contact to complete the horn circut even when you aren't pressing it.

Oh BTW: the irony between your screen name & your post title made me laugh a little.

Re: horn randomly honking...

its proll the horn button or the contacts.. id also look for any kind of dirt or grease in the connections at the bottom of the column that could cause it to short being you mentioned that clicking under the dash.... also pull out the horn relay and make sure that its good

Re: horn randomly honking...

i have this same problem, it happened after i cleaned up my horn contacts. the clicking is the relay on and off. i havent bothered to fix it yet but i think i reassembled it wrong
