The police just woke me because the horn on my 04 Disco was stuck on. I guess I pissed off a few neighbors. When I moved the steering wheel it stopped. I disconnected the battery for now. Any ideas?
Police at 12:45am

Happened to a few people, myself included. Do a search. How could you sleep though that? Mine seemed very loud in the driveway at 4am.
The only answers I found pointed to the buttons. I have not driven the car in days. This happened randomly.

The buttons get stuck part-way in and it makes 'em REALLY sensitive and sometimes will stick ON. Mine have done it a couple times- I pried 'em back out with the edge of a credit card.
This has happened on my 04 as well. I am on my 3rd or 4th set of horn buttons due to the issues with these.
Well, the short of it are three issues. The horn buttons stick, but that's not you're problem unless you sleepwalk (sleepdrive?). You could have a short in your horn relay. You could have a moth or bug in your vehicle that set off the motion sensors. I don't know what the D2 alarm sounds like when it goes off, but shouldn't it be a horn honking pattern, not a solid hoooooonk that never ends?
Mine happened on the silver 04 S model I used to have. The horn went off solid at 4am. I couldn't get it to shut off until I started it with the key. Evidently that blew the horn fuse and it shut off. The dealer said I had a short in the wiring somewhere, so they borrowed the relay/wiring from the ACE system (since I don't have ACE) and used it for the horn. Never happened again.
I have had the buttons stick on my G4, though. I just got it fixed at the dealer (my favorite warranty term: "renew"). I was driving and a guy was coming into my lane. I meant to tap the horn at him, but ended up as an eight second madman hornfest. Fortunately, I was able to pry it unstuck with my fingernail. Quite embarrassing.

I have the same happen on my 02. Maybe a DII problem? Now I keep a mini flatblade screwdriver in the center rest.

AT 12:45 in the Morning in Dan's neck of the woods they wouldn't have called the police for the stuck horn they simply would have yelled out of the second floor window "Go on, I got a ride already!"
