Default Horn goes off for 30sec??

My Jeep decided to blast its horn for about 30 sec today??

The first time I stopped, put it in park, opened the door to get out while the Jeep was still running and the horn went off. One long blast for 30-45 sec. I couldn't do anything to get it to stop.

Second time as I was getting in to leave. Got in, went to start it up and the horn goes off. Same thing.

Just now. Parked in the garage, I'm in the house for 15 min and I hear the horn go off. 30-45 sec later it stopped on its own.

Any Ideas???

Disconnect the battery for a couple of minutes, hopefully it will reset whatever is causing the problem.

Tried unhooking the battery this morning. Put the horn fuses back in. Left it unhooked for five minutes. Hook it up and the horn went off again. Took the fusses out now I headed to work.

Has the horn got wet or been around moisture? It could have a short. Check all the connections as well.
