Default Horn will not stop beeping

Hello,

I am hoping someone can help me. I have a 93 LX. It was sitting in the garage for a while and the battery died. I charged the battery and now when I connect the cables the horn starts going off. It almost seems like an alarm. I cannot get it to turn off. I can get the car to start but the horn will continue to beep.

Does anyone know what this is and how to correct it?

Definatly sounds like an alarm issue.

Try to lock and unlock the doors with the key.

I was thinking it could be an alarm. I have tried locking and unlocking my doors but it has not worked. Thanks for the info. I am thinking I may have to have it looked it.

my 92 had an alarm in but someone cut the alarm (horn) wire because of a similar problem. I had a key fob though. look under the dash for an alarm that may or may not be a ford alarm box.

Thanks for the info. I checked and I did not see anything that looked like an alarm but it's a mess under there. Someone installed a power sunroof and there are wires every where. I have a 90 GT so I used that as a reference and everything looked correct.

I took the horn fuse out and connected the battery. The hazards are flashing. The door chime is going off even with no keys in it and there is a clicking under the dash. I think I just need to take it some where and have them look at it.

Thanks for all the help.

Well this makes absolutely no sense. I removed the fuse for the horn on the mustang so I could attempt to figure out what was wrong. After 5 minutes of the hazards going off and a clicking it just stopped and everything is fine now. I think the system needed a reset and I just did not give it enough time because the horn was going off before? I'm confused but won't look a gift horse in the mouth
