Here's a funny one, I put the wheel back on a few weeks ago, the signal cancel worked great, so i took the car for a test drive Saturday morn. Backed it out, turning the wheel left at the bottom of the drive. Horn goes off. So I fiddle with the horn button, while at the same time shifting to 1st, getting the car over to the side of the road. etc. Horn still blaring. It was one of those moments where your brain kicks into overdrive. LOUD beep beep horn/ neighbors staring/ smelly-loud muscle car/ no power steering/ shifting from rev to first, you get the picture. I kill the engine, jump out, horn still blaring, pop the hood and pull out the wirefrom the relay. Sweet silence.
Drive car back into garage, thinking its the relay i take it apart, clean it up, plug the wire in, everything seems fine in the garage. So I back it out again, turning the wheel, SAME THING OVER AGAIN. feeling likea dipsh!t now, this time I'm much quicker to jump out etc.
This time i figure its the horn button, so all that comes off, I inspect it, check the wire, maybe its shorting out, maybe the horn button is crooked, etc. It all goes back together, the day is f'd.
3rd test drive (the following week) Now comes the test- back it out, no problems. PROBLEM SOLVED...until I get all the way through town to the hardware store with my 11-yr-old riding shotgun. A few people comment on my car, really nice etc. I'm feeling like THE MAN. Some dude wants to hear it fire up, the birds are singing. Leaving the store, I back out, wheel turning right. no issues. Shift to first, crank the wheel left, horn goes off. Eyeballs on me now (WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THIS NUT, OK HE'S GOT A ROADRUNNER, WE GET THE PICTURE, YOU CAN STOP HONKING IDIOT.) I take off, trying to get away, there's a hill on theway back home, i can't stop the car for fear of getting run over by my own car if i jump out to pop the hood. my son is asking questions, i'm in no mood for answers, I get to the bottom of the hill, road is level, shut off the engine, leave it in gear just in case the car rolls, jump out, pop the hood and pull the wire agan. Sweet silence. TO BE CONTINUED
