The horns just decided to start working on their own

[Kern Dog]

Sorta strange..?
I went outside the back of the house with the dogs moments ago. It is a heavy traffic time with the afternoon commute. I heard a faint horn coming from a ways away. I thought there was trouble on the main highway behind the East end of our lot. I got closer to the workshop and the noise was clearer. It turns out the horn in the Charger was blowing away on its own. I tapped the button and it shut off then felt the horns. They were friggin hot! The amp guage showed the battery to be around 8-9 volts after it was an easy 13.5-14.0 volts just on Wednesday!

I'm guessing the horn button was sticky. I haven't driven the car much since November, only backing it out to wash it and hear it run. I don't think I've heard of a horn just start honking on its own.  Kooky.

I actually recall this happen a fair amount back when I was a kid I the seventies. Sitting in the hot sun, stuff warping even slightly. Next thing ya know,honkapaloosa.

I always disconect the battery when car is parked.

My horn will do that driving down the road. When I hit bumps it starts honking on its own. I need to pull it apart and see what it is

It happened again about an hour ago. Maybe the old horns are just too AFU to work right? This time I tapped the horn button several times before they stopped.

I had a truck that used to do that on frigid mornings. All was quiet until the sun hit the interior then the horn would switch on and stay on til I pulled on the horn pad.

You could check section 8-66 of your FSM to see, just by some one in a million chance, if there is a troubleshooting procedure for that problem.
