1 Battery Cable problem

Failure Date: 01/19/2012

2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport; the car horn/alarm goes off usually when a drop of temperature occurs in the middle of the night. To fix . . . Has something to do with a short in the electrical of the air bag and the steering wheel column. Very expensive for a mechanic, over $1200. I have to unhook my battery every night and on colder days. Researching online. . . . . A lot of people are disabling the horn/alarm system and driving without horns. Or they are tampering with the air bag to try and fix. It is a very common problem. . . . . . . Today I could not drive the car because every time I hooked the battery cable back up the horn stayed on. I am considering disabling the horn altogether.
