“2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport. The horn sounds for no reason, when the temperature drops below 55degrees. I must remove the fuse to silence it. It is state required safety equipment. I contacted the lancaster, pa Mitsubishi dealer but they won't reply. The problem started in the winter when the temperature dropped below 18 degrees. It is 8 months later and a cold august night triggered it.”
