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
I have heard about the horn, lights, etc issues, being caused by a car battery that's acting up.

Replace your car battery and see if that resolves it.
