2000 Jeep Cherokee Horn Wont Stop Honking Steady

[crazyoildude]

on my sisters 2000 jeep cherokee all of a sudden the horn started honking steady as if someone was holding the horn button (jeep was in my driveway with nobody around) .. Did anyone else have or ever heard of this problem? I had to disconnect the battery at 1am this morning to make it stop.
It was raining if that makes a difference and there is No alarm in this jeep.

Just unplug the wire from the horn. This happened on my 94 Jeep Wrangler, led to people giving me the finger as it would randomly honk and then stayed on steady. Wire had to be replaced as it had deteriorated. If its anything like the 94 4.0 the wire is a clip-in type that plugs into the horn(black cylinder looking thing.

The horn very rarely goes bad and is usually wire related.

It's a Jeep thing.

It would be great in the tunnel to Glacier Point in Yosemite.

This will stop the horn but leaves the relay energized which will kill the battery eventylly.
The part thats most likely bad is called the clockspring.
