1997 Chevy Suburban V8 Two Wheel Drive Manual

for the past few months our car hron has been going off by itself. Whether we are driving or parked. Is this a fuse problem or a mechanic problem? Is it an easy repair or costly? We love our suburban and get really frustrated and embarassed when we are driving thru a parking lot & the horn all of a sudden goes off. Please help.

Hello, the circuit in the steering column for the horn switch, is a ground circuit. If the problem is in the steering column and intermittently shorts to ground, your horn will honk. I can tell you how to stop it from honking, but, then you have no horn.

If there is an airbag in your steering wheel, there could be a safety issue, trying to look at the horn switch.
