Phantom horn.........

I know Hallowe'en is just around the corner, but I had a strange incident last night with my horn !
After being stranded in gridlocked traffic for over an hour on my way to work, my horn took on a life of it's own. It blasted for around 10 seconds without me touching the buttons - much to everyone's annoyance around me. It would then repeat this at least twice a minute for the next few minutes until eventually I turned the engine off completely.
At first I thought it was the car in front of me until I realised how loud it was. The people in the car next to me threw me filthy looks, until I mouthed the words "not me" while I showed them my best jazz hands impression so they could see I wasn't pushing down on the horn.

Anyone else had this happen ? Very strange indeed.

The horn push strips can get a bit sticky in the steering wheel. Mine stuck on once. A bit of WD40 freed them up with no further issue
