Today I have an embarrassing and crazy story to share.
I had the oil changed in my 1996 Saturn yesterday and tried to get it inspected. There are some problems with the sensors, so I have to take it back on Thursday so hopefully the car can be fixed. But I had to go back to the garage today because when I opened the door this morning, the car horn started blaring on its own and wouldn’t stop. And when I say I opened the door, I mean I opened the front door of my house! I can hardly believe that it happened myself, but it’s the complete and honest truth. As soon as I opened the door to my house it was like someone was leaning on the car horn. We have talked about having a ghost in the house, and this is the best proof to date.
Shaking the steering wheel didn’t help, and all I could think of doing was pulling out fuses or disconnecting the battery. I didn’t want to do anything drastic so that I couldn’t start the car. I didn't even know where the fuses are, or if there was one that only affected the horn. Most of all I just wanted the horn to stop! What I ended up doing was opening the hood and punching the battery, which for some reason dulled the sound of the horn down to a medium-sized roar. Thankfully I didn’t have to drive back to the garage with the horn on full blast like a total freak. Unfortunately I couldn’t take Syd to day care, but I was able to get to the garage without drawing attention to myself.
The mechanic gave me a puzzled look because I was back so soon, but he was able to reach behind the left headlight and unplug the connection to the horn. The registration for the Saturn is also due next month. I have the perfect idea for vanity plates – LAME.
