Honking horn issue.

[tal riffe]

Started having an issue two nights ago. While driving at night, the horn suddenly stated honking continuously. It only stops when the lights are turned back off. It happens with both the headlights and or just the park lights. Any ideas?

is it continuous? or does it happen at random like after you hit a bump persay?

Dying battery is the cause for this.

It only happens when we turn on the headlights.

Dying battery is the cause for this.

We had the battery checked and it is fine.

We disconnected the horn wiring and when you press the steering wheel, the park lights blink.

Pretty strange.

If you hit the horn and the lights blink and the lights cause the horn to work, then it seems to me you have a crossed wire that has melted through the plastic and are touching. you need to follow all the wires to find out where it is. it's going to be a long process unless you get lucky.

Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread into the Ranger section. Tilt your steering wheel the next time this problem occurs, and see if it stops. If it does, then it might be skinned insulation in the steering column.
