Stuck Horn -- Help Please (96 SC2)

Hello,

Last night, while parked in my driveway, the horn on my 96 Saturn SC2
started blaring for no apparent reason. The key wasn't in the
ignition, and it hadn't been driven for several hours. The only way I
could stop it was to remove the fuse. Any ideas on why this happened
or how to fix it? Thanks much!

It's horny?

Ok ok, check the horn relay and the the switch in the steering wheel.
and the wiring for a short somewhere.

Its mating season. AHOOOOOGAAA!

Are you the original owner? There was a horn issue with my 97 that got it
replaced for free at the dealer - you might call and see if they can tell
you by your VIN. ...just a thought.

Actually I don't have a clear idea. For my 97 saturn SL1, once I press
that "horn" button of the keyless remote control, the car will be acting
the same as you described. Maybe that's a clue. Just FYI

I have a `97 SC2 and had almost the same problem, but I was driving the car.
I didn`t even touch the horn button. I was just driving and the horn started
blaring. Luckily I was close to home. I disconnected the battery cable,
didn`t know where the fuse was at that time. I did find and remove the horn
fuse and started driving again. Later out of curisioty I put the fuse back in
and the horn didn`t start up again. That was over a year ago and it hasn`t
happenned again??

Almost always, this is the horn relay.

Bad horn.
