MonoRail Member 29 Member For: 17y 9m 10d Posted 20/10/10 07:00 AM Share Posted 20/10/10 07:00 AM Hey all,My car horn just started going off in the middle of the night all by itself and woke everyone up within a couple of hundred metres (luckily it was a satdy night). I didn't know what was going on so I just unplugged the battery to shut it up. Fortunately for me, it when I reconnected the horn was fine. However, I've been meaning to take it to ford to get it check out but haven't had time to so every night since then I've had to disconnect the battery and reconnect in the morning. Instead of doing this, can't I just take out the fuse instead? How do I take the lid off the fuse box in the engine without dismantling evreything around it and does anybody know whats going on with my horn and know what the fix is?It's a bf mkII and it only happened once on a very cold night.Thanks guys!

Happened when they were driving through a cemetery to a funeral too...I don't know the outcome, but I think he took it to Ford. Just letting you know that I've heard of this happening before.

There has been reports of that before...think it was the battery in the remote failing or something?

Same thing happened to me a few months ago. Took the horn fuse out to give myself some thinking and research time...replaced battery in the remote and all fixed.
