A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
I've owned my 2002 Impala since May of 2002. About 10 years into my ownership of the vehicle, the horn would go off for no reason - a constant steady blast that woke up neighbors and tended to occur early in the morning (3 am - 7 am).
The first time it happened, it took me by total surprise. I was trying everything to get it to stop. I turned the car on, off, on, off. I shook it. I opened the hood, getting prepared to disconnect the battery. Before a friend could make it to my car with tools, I sat in the car for one last try at something, ANYTHING.
I got so pissed that it wouldn't stop, I just punched the steering column in frustration. IT STOPPED!!! From then on, if it occurred (at least 10 more times), I would just run out and give my car a knockout punch.
Eventually, one morning, the car starting doing it again, but the horn sounded a little weak. Sure enough, by the time I got out there it was silent. The horn went out. I never got it fixed, and I drive around sans horn. Not the best solution, but it cost NOTHING.
NOTHING is EXACTLY what I will give to GM in the future too. I plan on airing all the dirty laundry on my vehicle in other sections in the near future. I just discovered carcomplaints.com. AWESOME!!!
