Hi anyone out there..

My 1967 122 S horn just started honking today while driving. We stopped the car-- and turned everything off-- and then just when I turned the key (power) on-- it sounded continuously again. And, the ignition button (aftermarket) would not work. We pulled the wires connected to both horns, and then car fired right up, of course w/o horn.. Do you think it is a ground problem--or the horn ring just staying depressed, or ?????

I am betting on a grounding problem...in your horn ring itself. Mine had a piece of paper under the bottom of the ring when I bought it to prevent the same problem.

I don't know what to say about the ignition not working when this is going on.

Have you figured it out yet. It would be interesting to know.
