When I was about to be side swiped by another vehicle from the adjacent line, I heavily leaned on the horn and it stuck and continued blowing. I finally stopped it from blowing by hitting it a couple of times. Thinking I had fix the problem, while sitting in the house it started blowing again. After doing this a couple more times I realize I had a problem. I had to remove the fuse to get it to stop.
