today while i was at work and car at home my brother rang me and said my horn had been going full bore for about 2 min and was still going while i was on the phone to him car was locked i had keys, so there was nothing he could do, it kept going till it died bout 2-3min, i got home and it wont work anymore, dont have a alarm, has anyone even heard of this before or what caused it? car is EL, does that mean i need a whole new horn assembly?

Take off the horn cover, check the pads and see if they have deteriorated |
