Hi , this is my first post, hope somebody, anybody can help. OK the story goes a little like this.
Went out to start my VX S II (2001) this morning.Car unlocked fine but when put key in ignition the car started BUT so did the horn. It didn't honk on and off BUT it stayed ON constantly in it's high pitched tone...going for 15 minutes . In which time all the neighbours had come out to see what had woken them up.Now while it was making this noise the car would start and turn off with the key but if you got out and tried to lock the doors they wouldn't lock. Eventually the police detective that lives 2 doors up had come over and said we should disconnect the battery, However after 15minutes and before we finally managed to do that, the noise slowly faded out and STOPPED (thank god). seeing as we hadn't disconnected the battery yet we tried to start the car but this time it wouldn't kick over yet all the lights and radi etc would come on. we disconnected the battery then reconnected it after 5 minutes but still no go go. RACV man was called couldn't find a problem, he suggested maybe changing the battery anyway or that it had just had a hissy fit and to get an auto elec to have a look at it.
So i guess my questions are...what the hell?? any ideas on whethor it be battery, computer, faulty wiring or something else? any advice would be great xx
