I have noticed a peculiar thing with my new car, if I stop the engine and take the key out of the ignition before the engine has fully stopped the horn will sound, the quicker you remove the key the longer the horn sounds??
If I wait till the engine has stopped (as you should) the horn doesnt make a noise!!
Never had this on the last car so it is quite odd, anybody else experienced it? Looking through the history and receipts that came with the car it had a new alarm box fitted not too long ago to fix a horn problem.
The alarm works fine, it goes off if you put your hand in an open window or open a door from the inside, and the alarm is a siren type not the car horn - I wonder if it is not related.
Would be usefull to know if anybody elses car does this.
