Ok well today I was driving around and stopped at a gas station. I stopped and put the car in neutral, turned the lights off and then took the key out. As soon as the key came out, the horn turned on out of nowhere. My horn has not worked in about 6-7 weeks.
Anyways, everyone at the gas station was looking at me because my car was just sitting there with the horn blasting.
I decided to head over to an abandoned road nearby to try and diagnose the problem without people being annoyed by the horn.
I soon discovered that this horn problem only happened if I shut the car off in neutral, and turned the lights off. If it was in park, or if the lights were on, nothing would happen.
So I had my video camera with me and I decided to make a video of this bizarre wiring issue and figured I would post it for a few laughs. Well, I had no idea what was about to happen. I recorded the video thinking that I was just having a horn problem. Little did I know that the fcuking AIRBAG was going to go off!!
Just watch the video...

Now I have bigger problems, unfortunately.
what causes the airbags to deploy? I have heard that they don't deploy unless you are going a certain speed, but I was sitting still.

Dude you got to get that wiring problem fixed because it could happen again. You were lucky it wasn't the drivers side airbag that went off, but it would have been a lot funnier though.
