Horn stays on after rain damage

MasterWang · 06-18-2011, 03:12 AM

Left my window slightly cracked in a super storm just now.
There was water all over my steering wheel and seat but every button seemed to work fine. After about 5 minutes of driving it, my horn came on and stayed on. I'm guessing the water got in the steering wheel and thats what is causing it. I had to drive through my neighborhood at 2 in the morning with my horn blasting the whole time.........unacceptable. What can I do to fix this problem? Can I disable the horn somehow? Where is the fuse for the horn? Do you guys think my car will stop being a butthole once the water in the steering wheel dries?

Why don't you just unplug the horn?
