<x-charset iso-8859-1>I had this problem before after I nearly crashed my car head on into a pickup truck, it was his fault but I was going really fast, the resulting Rockford Files spin we both did, left me with my horn honking . After we exchanged comments and fingers, I parked my now intermitantly honking car. I did not manually honk the car in this incident and the resulting on off honking, especially during braking, really angered the other driver and he continued the fingering action until I was no longer at a hearing distance. Well anyhow I disconnected the ground or the honking side since the positive or + side is always on , I tested which side was which by disconnecting one side and using a piece of wire on the horn connection and touched the bumper (ground) if it honked then it was the right one; tugging the wire, I followed it to my steering column where the rubber damper turns, on its way out it was being pinched by the body and the suspension frame or rail, it even had a bald spot , it must have been like this for years but the incident finally brought it to light. i rerouted the wire and it never came back. Follow your wire from the bottom of the column to the horn, you should find something. Make sure your horn ring is not doing something odd , like shorting out under the weight of breaking?
