Fast forward a few days... some dumbarse backed into me! No horn to blow to alert!

Wiggins, sorry for belated reply. Just sent you a PM as well.

Sorry for late reply. It has been rectified. The issue was a short with the horn relay connection. There was corrosion. I had to pull the fuse in order to get it to stop. Took it into the dealer and they installed a new horn and reinforced the connection. Put a new fuse in as well. So far it has yet to repeat itself.

As FYI, all this was covered under warranty. My Z was a Certified Used Nissan purchase from the dealership.

Good Luck.
