Please can you be more specific is it in front or rear. Does your tires move at all when you try to drive. Is it manual or automatic transmission. What other symptoms do you have?

There are 2 possibilities for this to happen. 1. Inside the steering column there is a faulty circuit. 2. The horn relay has an internal fault. The horn works on a grounding type system, which means that +12V is always available to the circuit and when grounding happens at any point it will activate the relay to send the voltage to the horns. So if your horn is randomly going off then there is a temporary grounding action somewhere.

I would check the fuses if its not a bad fuse its generally a bad ground that goes to the cluster

I would purchase a new battery and check your fuses and spark plugs.

This works for a ford taurus so I thought I would put my 2 cents worth in. Sometimes the Hazard button plays havoc with the lighting system. If there is a hazard button on the steering shaft, try putting a toothpick to wedge the button one way or the other. A jiggling button will cause the same system if the connectors to the lights are tight and the grounds are good. Hope this helps

Top of housing on drivers side. Picture of manual shift but automatic should be pretty close if not same.

simply the rockers are on a shaft as a assy. you set them down in place over the valve and the lifter put the retainers and bolts in then step torque them down from the center bolts out do it in a few steps to make sure they are seated properly then torque to spec.

check the fuse block under the hood, drivers side . head lights have fuses there may look ok but check with continuity tester to make sure. test wires at the head lights as well. best bet is the fuses

this issue is in the wiper motor control. the shut off switch is misaligned causing it to keep running. kind of like you hold the windshield washer button. replace the controller if available or the whole wiper motor assy.

Have to loosen pivot bolt at bottom of power steering, plus top adjustment and use 1/2" drive bar in hole supplied in bracket to add tension, then re-tighten.

check that the cam shaft is turning ( broken timing belt) run fault codes and check for cam/ crank position sensor problem

You have a vacuum leak

did you check main fuses under hood, and also check for brunt fusible links,(looks like wire but inside bruns like a fuse).if everything is good then next step is ignition switch. hope this helps.

u might need a tune up it sounds like it is miss firing try changing the spark plugs and wires
hope this helps

on the battery. trace it to the chassis

Take it to Autozone or Advanced auto and get an engine diagnostic and ask them to printout the results. Most times it's a sensor.
