This morning at 5 AM my wife's NB horn suddenly started blowing while the car was parked in the driveway (and had been for 12 hours). After about one minute of steady blowing it stopped, as mysteriously as it started.
An hour later it did the same thing again. Since then, silence.
This is the two-tone road horn we're talking about, not the meep meep alarm (and panic button) bleater.
The horn push on the steering wheel appears normal (has spring tension), but interestingly, the horn doesn't sound when it's pushed. My wife says she doesn't know if the horn has been working recently... she's not a frequent horn user.
The 20A horn fuse (#40) checks good with an ohmmeter and there appears to be 12V on one contact of the fuse socket. I don't have my Bentley here so I haven't traced anything else in the circuit.
Is this an all-electromechanical circuit (switch, relay, horn) or do electronic gizmos have their fingers into the horn function as well?
Anybody else ever seen anything like this?
regards,
Eddy
