Horn gremlin

[DieselNewby]

Well, this is thrilling! LOL!! For the past two days we've heard a horn going off and just thought it was a neighbor's buddy soudning the horn to say goodbye or something as he left. Come to find out at 3:56am and again at 4:12 am its my truck!



The truck had been sitting parked since 2pm and it just started the horn going off on its own. Really pi$$in' me off and very embarrasing. Anyone come up with ANY further thoughts so far? I like my dealer but as everyone knows it's hard to drop off your brand new truck for something stupid like this.



BTW, the truck has 3700 miles on it, and is 5 weeks old, 6spd, no alarm, and I've turned the "chirp" off when I lock the doors etc. No mods.

That wouldn't be the culprit. I don't use my remotes. It even did it at the dealership. Thanks anyway! Anybody else have any ideas?

It seems the mention of a bad circuit board behind the airbag in the steering wheel makes the most sense to me. I'll be contacting my dealer today at some point and will hopefully get it fixed ASAP. I have the fuse out now, but no horn in Washington DC area is no good at all!!

where is the fuse for the horn located, so if this happens to me I will be ready. I have the 600. Thanks

The horn fuse is in the main fuse box under the hood on the left side. I believe the fuse descriptions are on the under side of the cover. I can't remember which one is for the horn off hand. When my horn went off I just hit the horn symbol on the steering column and it quit. Pulling the fuse assures it won't happen again.

AHH! I've got the gremlin too. people have been telling they thought that they heard my horn, well I got to hear it go off first hand, right in the middle of traffic( I could tell by the look on peoples faces that they thought I was pretty cool). I too had to pull the fuse. is there any new info on this?

Replaced switch quiets gremlin

AHH! I've got the gremlin too. people have been telling they thought that they heard my horn . . . . is there any new info on this?

They replaced the horn switch (in the steering wheel I think) on mine and I haven't had any problems since.

I take mine in monday,the horn won't shut off. Dealer said

it's a bad horn air bag ring .

Add yet another to the long list of horn/air bag rings that gets replaced. Not cool to be driving in downtown Austin, Tx. on I-35 and have the horn go off until you pull the fuse. Wife thought I was messing with people after a long day of driving.
