Random Honking
I bought my 2005 Ford Escape about 2 months ago and
had no issues with it. About 2 weeks into having the car
the horn randomly starts honking. It would happen once
maybe twice a day. Then a couple weeks later it stopped.
It recently starting doing it again.
I need help. How can I make it stop without having to
spend a whopping load of money?
Here is where the horn is located; make sure the wiring harness is in good shape and the horn isn't being grounded causing it to short (water may also be causing an issue). Here is a brief description of how the horn in this car works: "There are 2 separate conditions that can cause the horn to sound. The horn will sound if the driver presses the horn switch and when the vehicle security system is armed. The horn system uses the smart junction box (SJB) to provide voltage to the horns, while the horn switch or the SJB can provide the ground to engage the horn relay. The horn switch is integrated into the air bag." Hopefully you don't have a problem with the SJB and it's just a wiring issue.
