For some unknown reason my horn will start going off by itself while I am driving. Sometimes just randomly bleeping and sometimes a constant blare. I took it to the dealer like a month ago and they told me it was because I had an air freshner plugged into the front lighter socket and i left it in overnight. They replaced the fuse to the horn because it eventually blew while it was going off on the way to the dealer. Now a month later it is starting to do it again and i havent had any air fresheners plugged into it. Has anyone experienced this problem yet ?

never even hear of that on a Mustang. if your still under warranty i'd take it back to the dealership and throw an absolute temper tantrum about there being a short in the wiring connected to the horn, it could be at the horn, the steering wheel or anywhere in between.
It had nothing to do with a plug-in air freshener to begin with.
good luck!

Yep, that's what I was thinking too. He/she might have the dreaded leak in which case would cause strange things to happen with the electrical system.

i took it back two days ago and they said they couldn't find anything wrong. They said they are going to replace the relay to see if that works but if it doesn't i have no clue what it could be. Whatever it is they better fix it because it only has 17k and is still under the factory warranty.
What was the leak you guys are talking about in the passenger side?

I had a late 80's ford tempo in high school that did that. I had to rip the steering wheel apart and disconnect the horn. OF course, that was the least of the problems I had with that pos.

. I finally took it in and ford fixed the issue by replacing the cpu housing. Does any one know how the moisture even gets in there?
