Re: Horn going off on its own. had to disable battery to...
There's a short to ground somewhere in the horn circuit.
It's either at the horn, or at the horn switch in the steering wheel, or the wiring between, maybe at the horn relay if so equipped

No trick to it. It should not be happening. I would disable the horns right at the horns themselves until you get the vehicle started and the battery charging up. Then you can deal with the horns. An electrical genius may have to diagnose it. New car problems are bummers.
no magic wand to wave and bypass or hotwire vehicle and an 02 vin key is about $30 to $50 dollars re try to jump vehicle with different cables and or test cables if using the same ones sounds like cables arent good
Check your fuses. It varies from car to car but you may have a fuse dedicated only to the horn unit. In that case you can just pull the fuse without affecting anything else..
Other than that you will need to pull the wiring connectors off the horn unit and tape them up to keep any moisture and dirt out. Hopefully that will not trigger any issue with the security system.
What your hearing is the factory alarm not the horn. Connect the battery when the alarm sounds go to the drivers door lock with the key and lock and unlock the door until the alarm goes off . Then reinstall the fuse for the horn.,
Is the alarm causing the horn to honk? If so, you need to figure out what is causing the alarm to trigger, which could be any number of things. Or, the panic module could be failing. It is least likely to be the horn ring unless the only way you can get the horn to stop is by "beating the horn button on the steering wheel".
If it is, then you can replace the parts for the horn button, but you will need to get an assembly manual for the vehicle. Be sure to disconnect the battery before attempting to remove the airbag module. If it goes off, then you risk injury, and, they are not cheap to replace.
its usually under the front bumper my horn doesn't work either in my 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee but it bother me its just a horn and i like it disabled because when i unlock my car the flasher go off so i disabled the horn so it wouldn't beep when every-time i unlock it just the flashers go off which doesn't bother me
Just pull out the cable from the horn, or the nearest joint. I suspect the reason is in the contact plate on steering wheel or relay is stuck with closed contacts.
