Why is my car horn honking by itself?

A few months ago I bought an old Ford from a private seller. Now the car horn randomly starts honking and I look like a huge jerk on the road. Why is my car horn honking by itself?

If your car horn is taking on a life of its own it could be due to the following issues:
  • A faulty relay
  • A short circuit
  • A faulty horn push button
The best way to deal with the issue is to take your car to the mechanic to have the issue properly diagnosed and repaired. While you wait for your car to be repaired, check out the
