Unhappy uncommanded intermittant horn & hazard activity

Hey guys,

On the ride home tonight several minutes after the "low fuel" indicator illuminated, there were two uncommanded instances of my hazards briefly flashing, and one horn sounding. The first was accelerating from a stop at an intersection when the light turned green, the second was at home a few minutes later, when backing into my garage when the horn also simultaneously sounded. All three events lasted only a second or two.

This is the first time I've noticed this behavior presenting. The car was manufactured a year ago this month. I've owned it since new years day. She has about 6,500 miles. I was just completing a trip on the highway, about an hour.

This car has one mod, a Ravelco which was installed the first week I got her. Recalling conversations with my installer, I believe the Ravelco opens critical circuits like fuel or ignition, not horn & hazard. (I can just imagine Nissan having kittens when they discover that mod. Warranty? Ha.).

Would appreciate any suggestions or ideas you can offer. Hopefully this is a one-off deal tonight. Color me a pessimist; I doubt it.

Of course, if behavior like this has already been covered in another post, my bad, would you please reply with a link. My initial searches didn't see it.

Thanks everyone
