 As the car was sitting in the driveway in the middle of the night, the horn started going off w/out any operator in the car. the car remained locked and no one was around. had to remove the fuse to the horn, however, upon putting the fuse back in the horn continues to go off randomly in the middle of the night in a continuous honk as if someone is laying on the horn.

 Woke up to a loud alarm. neighbors pounding on our door to alert us something was alarming. cops in the driveway. the noise was 2001 mitsubishi montero horn alarm. it wouldn't shut off till the battery was disconnected. an easy fix would be to remove the fuse, but in mass you are required get yearly detailed inspection of your car. therefore, my truck would definitely fail and i would end up paying the 1,000-1500 for repairs. this is just another surprise problem added to my list. very disappointed in your mitsubishi!

 Within the last 30 days whenever the outside temperature drops below 18f degrees the horn will continously blow. initially the battery is disconnected to stop the horn from making its noise. then horn relay is removed to disable the horn completely. the problem has not been fixed. the problem has occurred 5 times. a mechanic has been unable to determine the problem.
