Hello I have a slight problem. Whenever it rains my horn stays on, like it shorts out or something. It blew the fuse once, and i replaced it when it was dry and it worked fine. But last night it rained and my horn woke up my neighbors. Any suggestions?

find the short

 

lol yeah but why would it short only when its wet?

 

the water is a great conductor, hence the short. it is connecting two wires that are not supposed to. Remove the water problem, remove the short problem.

Exactly!!!! why do you think it's not wise to shower with electronics???? did you never see the "Zax" commercials duke power played in the 80's???? "Zax feel dizzy"...um.....flashback

 

Oh **** this reminds me of a Brian Regan bit where he borrows his friend's car and the horn keeps blowing randomly, among other times while he's stuck in traffic. Apparently the key is to either:
A) Pretend you're excited about a 'game' airing on the radio "WOOOO GO KINGS!!"
or
B) Admit mental illness

OK but seriously, has the car been in an accident before? I'd bet the wires got pinched somewhere and just need that little bit of moisture to connect them. All you can do is trace......

 

that is very interesting. sorry I can't offer any tech advice, but when you find out, I would definately like to know!

 

hmm, you could try replacing the horn for about $10 but if its in the wiring i guess it wouldnt make a difference
