Gremlin: horn going off!
My horn on my 87 has gone off on its own twice recently.It goes off in the pulse mode.I've had to disconnect horn and wait awhile and when reconnected all is well.Even after horn is disconnected you can hear a turn signal type clicking behind center dash.As it is in pulse mode I'm wondering about VATS(it is bypassed at the moment) or horn relay.Anyone had similar occurence?

I've had that happen after the car had been sitting for a while. After I started the engine, it stopped. Had it happen another time ..again battery low..I disconnected the wiring at the horns and put it on the trickle charger and after the battery was topped up, reconnected the horns and the problem was gone.

Happened to me, turned out to be the alarm. It would go off whenever the door was open. For whatever reason, it didn't reset with the key in the ignition. I was only able to get it to reset by unlocking the door with the key.
