Horn Always On And Engine Totally Dead

[phunsa]

hi,

this AM i put car in reverse and the horn went on and the car died. The horn stayed on when i tried to restart the motor, there seemed to be no electrical power to the motor, the instrament cluster and warning lights were on. the horn stayed on even when i took keys out of the car. i disconnected the Battery and then the horn stopped.

any ideas on what happened and what i can do?

1996 camry 4 cylinder.

thanks,

john

disconnect the wires to the horn for now , see if its ok with it disconnected.if so chances are the horn is no good and needs renewing

i disconnected one horn, the second is very hard to access. for now the Battery is disconnected. i tired to deactivate the alarm with remote and "key in door". it seems it is some sort of power or circuit error.

freak, thanks for the post
