Looking for some ideas/thoughts/guidance.
My Leaf (64 reg) has decided to randomly sound its horn when parked up; sometimes a single time, other times a few in a row. At first, due to the sometimes repeating nature of the horn, I took this to be the alarm. However, in trying to test the issue I have heard the actual alarm by getting my wife to lock me in the car and activating the alarm. Seeing as this is a siren noise I was quite surprised.
I initially thought this was an issue with the 12v battery so duly replaced but the behaviour has continued. There doesn't seem to be any particular circumstances/timings as to when the horn will sound and I can't discern any recurring pattern to the horn sounding but I would say it is not the same each time. Saying this, I generally try silencing it with the fob as soon as I hear it.
For the moment I have removed both horn relays and tested and confirmed that the horn no longer sounds. I've done this so my neighbours don't get woken up at stupid o'clock by my delinquent Leaf and will replace them before I head off on my journeys and remove at the other end! At least until I can work out the issue or get it looked at. I have checked all other fuses that I can access and all seem fine although I didn't expect there to be any to be blown.
Anybody out there had similar or know what the issue may be and whether there is something I can investigate myself?
