Well me and the wife pulled into the drive way ,engine was running i leaned over the console to show her how to veiw the shots on the camera and the horn started to honk. it would not stop until i pulled the fuse. i waited and put the fuse back in and no honking. i have 78k on her now and have read a couple of tsb's on the clock spring thing and am wondering if that is it. I didn't touch the tilt before it started to honk and jerking the wheel around didn't stop it. it is still under warranty but i thought i would get the imput from the experts before i call dc and get it checked. let me know what you guys think.

I think it's your personality. Your truck is trying to show you how much it cares.

Sorry, stupid response, but i just couldn't help it.

Jealousy!
You were paying more attention to your wife than you were your truck.
This is a typical response for a jealous truck.

does your truck have the panic button on the key fob? I pressed mine one time and the horn went off I didn't realize it so I got out and disconected the batteries. then I got to looking at the keyfob saw the button and submitted my name to the darwin award commitee.

bj, yep it has the fob but i pressed on that and it didn't stop.it was a solid honk. not the honk honk. i am going to monitor for a while and check wires to the horn to make sure i have no shorts. i spoke to dc they said it was not in the recal list on my vin and that symtom was, no cruise or horn. we will watch it 22k left on the warranty thanks for the help

I've run across this before in some older gasers and in my buses at work. I'm not 100% sure what the problem was, but I was told that for some reason, some type of connection was making contact when it wasn't supposed to be. I know this doesn't help much, but I'll ask the shop at work to see what they did to the bus that was doing that last week.

Well that's it. Wife in truck, no shorts, digital camera, somethin was gettin honked..... Sorry couldn't resist.
Check the clockspring.

Ok, I talked to the shop guys last night at work and they told me there is some type of short somewhere. That makes a contact stay "in contact" somewhere in or around the sterring column. They said that if you do decide to try and find and fix the prob yurself, then be EXTREMELY careful b/c of the airbag. That tends to make these jobs complicated. They said your best bet would be to take it to the dealer if still under warrenty or a good mechanic that you know and trust. Sorry I coundn't be of any more help.

There was a guy in my defensive driving class that got caught speeding while "having some fun" with his wife on the way to the deer lease.

Well i took my truck to dc today to have the clockspring/horn checked they ran a diag on it and got no codes so they just replaced the horn relay and they did not charge me for it,ok for now
