Horn continues to blow

Who ties your shoelaces for you in the mornings? They will probably know.

No the lights do not come on at all when the horn starts to blow.

My 1990 Accord did bizarre things after a rain. Also, the driver floor mat was wet. Water was leaking through a weld. There is a control module under the left kick panel by the drivers left foot that was getting wet and had rust and mildew.

Your horn connectors (behind the front bumper) are corroded and are shorting out.

Your horns are always "hot". Ground is normally supplied by the switch in the steering wheel. But if one of the horn connectors shorts, current will flow and both horns will blow.

Pull the horn fuse and your brake lights won't work. You can use your taillights as a (dim) substitute: Just turn the parking lights on each time you step on the brake. This dodge is actually pretty effective; I've had to use it before.

ok...sounds like the problem. Teger How much would this cost to get fixed?

Lots and lots. Or nothing.

Whom do you want to get to do this work?

why not go to a shop specializing in auto electrical problems,tell them about the horn connectors,and ask for an estimate?

Or you could price a new wire harness from Honda and install it yourself.

Or you could disconnect the horn, clean the connectors, and reconnect the horn....Doh!!!! DaveD

The horns might be reachable by dropping the plastic splash shield under the bumper.

Tegger....I know absolutly nothing about cars. I was going to bring it to Honda or a mechanic that used to work at Honda that nows owns his own shop & get it repaired.

That should work. This is a simple problem, easily fixed.

The big issue is how long it's going to take your guy to get at the horns.

Well he works pretty quick....I think it would be done in a day. I was curious of the price because I am paying some heavy Hospital Bills at the moment.

No one can tell you the price, only your mechanic. The price depends very heavily on the extent of the damage.

As a wild-ass guess, I'd say anywhere between $50 and $300.
