[urq] happen to me : Horn issues

[steven j]

This happen to my late 83 Coupe GT a few times when it was cold, like in the 20s 
Farenheit.  Underhood fuse box.  I did anything to fix it and normally don't 
have the car registered in the winter so I probably switched my registration to 
another car and it never happened again in the summer. 


I remember driving by a sign in manhattan that said 'no honking   $125 fine'.   
I probably disconnected the horns under the car.

Subject: [urq] Horn issues

Guys-
So yesterday I was driving home - it was cold - about 5 deg C - and my horn
just started intermittently honking.  I'm sitting at a light - it honks.
I'm passing by a girl at a bus stop - it honks. I pass by a guy at a bus
stop - it honks.  I'm driving along - it honks!  So I did pull over - was
able to pull the wires from one of the horns - but couldn't get to the other
one and it still honked intermittently by itself.  Usually when I was behind
some gang bangers in a '79 Impala with 24's at a stop light.

Do horns just go bad?  Horn button going bad?  Wiring issue?  Any BTDT?
