After googling and doing a little reaching I found out it is a very common problem amongst these vehicles that the horn starts blaring in the early morning hours non stop until unplugging the fuse or battery. I have to remove the fuse therefore I-??m unsafe knowing that I-??m driving without any communication with other vehicles. It is a very expensive repair that most people can-??t afford so they-??re left doing what I learned to do which puts a lot of people in danger. Please help with this safety concern.

On 9/4/2017 at approximately 615am the vehicle was parked in the garage. 10 minutes later our puppy was barking at the door leading to garage. Husband went to see why and saw smoke coming from the door. He opened the door and the garage was filled with black smoke and there was a fire on the underside of the vehicle. Consequently this led to my entire home burning down.
