FWIW, I replaced the whole contraption instead of the DIY fix.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

My 996 has an annoying problem that started two days ago. The car horn seems to be "beeping" at random intervals.
It chirps when I start the car and sometimes when I'm just driving down the road. Yesterday, it beeped when I pulled up the emergency brake.
The "Chirp" is very short, similar to the sound the car makes if you lock it with the center armrest open.
I tried to search, but the board search function does not seem to be working properly.
You fellas got any ideas, because frankly I don't even know where to start wrenching to solve this problem.
it never fails to amaze me that with all the chatter about *****, oil and get togethers, when a real problem comes up that Loren pops in with anazing info and fixes !!
Awesome again Loren !
Loren you beat me to the punch.... again!
I think Loren "lurks in the weeds" waiting to pounce on a problem. In the meantime he has the luxury of enjoying the "scenery" that pops up every now and then.
Funny story:
Mine was beeping like yours a while back - especially under braking. I took it to the track and it was seriously HHOONNKKIINNNGGGG in every braking zone. Not a beep, but a LONG honk. The first session, the corner workers all thought I was honking at them and would wave at me. And people in front of me kept giving me passing signals because they thought I was pissed at them and wanted by.
I ended up taking the fuse out that day. FWIW, I replaced the whole contraption instead of the DIY fix.

My 1985 911 seems to have some sort of short circuit in the horn. The horn beeps at random times. Sometimes it beeps when it is just sitting there. Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem might be? Thanks! Bill L.
