My 95 Disco I got me to work this morning on wet/icy roads. A couple of hours after being parked it started to blow it's horn intermittantly. It went haywire! Sometimes it would honk for 5 seconds, sometimes for a split second over and over again. It wasn't the alarm because it kept happening for 45 minutes and I couldn't stop it (it may be the alarm going faulty). Now it won't start (won't even turn over) but the battery has good power. Anybody have anything like this ever happen?

just do the twist!

sounds like something alarm related for sure,frozen or stuck relay maybe.

if the key fob still works I'd start by setting and unsetting the alarm a number of times?

FWIW, this was happening to my wife's Mazda. In the middle of the night (cool, damp nights) the horn would just go off, sometimes for up to 15 or 20 minutes (eventually we'd wake up). I ended up taking the wheel/horn assembly apart, cleaning all the contact points under the cover, hasn't happened since.
