Can anyone help me with this one?
Jeep randomly honks (a constant honk, not beeps) and the starter tries to start the engine....have to disconnect the battery to stop it(and keep it disconnected so I don't piss off the neighboors in the middle of the night)
they both go off together (horn and starter) or sometimes just one does. it does when jeep is running also, and when I put it drive or reverse it stops...so I assume the NSS is doing its job and not the cause.
Did all the checks ( grounds check, cleaned all connection points, removed checked/cleaned ignition switch, swapped relays, checked voltages, checked fuses, used dielectric grease on everything
Gonna remove my starter tomorrow and see if its the solenoid that is sticking on or shorting out.
I also read a post that had the same issues as I'm having, he removed his JB and looked inside to find corrosion which was shorting things out. Gonna try that too.
Hoping its not a short in the engine harness somewhere, PITA.
any help would be great!
