1991 Jimmy V8 4x4 horn
This is one of those "stupid" problems it's almost embarassing to post, but:
The horn on my Jimmy keeps going off by itself (1 + 4 AM so far).
I have replaced that cheap plastic spring assembly that provides the horn button "rebound" when pressed. I would like to know... Is there an easy way to bypass the standard button and install a purchased horn button - say on the side of the steering column ??!
I'm sick of waking up, racing downstairs to avoid being lynched by the neighbors

The contact on the horn button itself had gotten bent upwards ... So it was only a couple thousandths away from the nut on the steering column. It's been so cold here in New England that frost build-up inside the steering column was enough to make contact. Bent the tang down just a little, put it back on, and no trouble for several days. I just don't do my best thinking at 4:00AM for some reason... I guess. lol
