Car Forum / Honda Cars / March 2008Horn continues to blow
I have a 1993 Honda civic EX & everytime it is raining out quite heavily for a period of time the horn will go off & stay on by itself until I pull the fuse. What should I be looking at as the reason this happening & will my lights work when I pull that particualar fuse out??

Signature"Ubuntu" -- an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me". You probably have a chaffed cable somewhere. When it is dry out try finding with a spray of water. Look at the lights and see if they are on. > On Thu, 06 Mar 2008 23:00:30 -0500, piperspost wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Who ties your shoelaces for you in the mornings?

My 1990 Accord did bizarre things after a rain. Also, the driver floor mat was wet. Water was leaking through a weld. There is a control module under the left kick panel by the drivers left foot that was getting wet and had rust and mildew.

Your horn connectors (behind the front bumper) are corroded and are shorting out. Your horns are always "hot". Ground is normally supplied by the switch in the steering wheel. But if one of the horn connectors shorts, current will flow and both horns will blow. Pull the horn fuse and your brake lights won't work. You can use your taillights as a (dim) substitute: Just turn the parking lights on each time you step on the brake. This dodge is actually pretty effective; I've had to use it before.

The horns might be reachable by dropping the plastic splash shield under the bumper. SignatureTegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ Tegger....I know absolutly nothing about cars. I was going to bring it to Honda or a mechanic that used to work at Honda that nows owns his own shop & get it repaired. piperspost@webtv.net wrote in news:4440-47D2F6D9-721@storefull- 3337.bay.webtv.net: > Tegger....I know absolutly nothing about cars.

The big issue is how long it's going to take your guy to get at the horns. SignatureTegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ Well he works pretty quick....I think it would be done in a day. I was curious of the price because I am paying some heavy Hospital Bills at the moment.

Quit wasting your f.cking time and get in there to see him and get a f.cking estimate. Jesus.

The price depends very heavily on the extent of the damage. As a wild-a.s guess, I'd say anywhere between $50 and $300. SignatureTegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/
