Default Horn Blowing on it's own

A couple of weeks ago installed a stebel air horn and yesterday the horn was going off constantly with pushing the horn button just as I was waitng in line to get on to the Navy base and horn going off right through the gate! Kinda funny actually! Didn't have too much time to look but no bare wires and all connection were tight. I put a new relay on that I had laying around and still no change. Rode to work today with stock horn attached and everything was normal. Anything I should check when I get home?

Is the switch stuck or water in it? Did you check power going to the relay activate side?

Good thing it didn't happen while riding through some hood.
The replaced horn probably doesn't work through a relay, so I would think it may be in the button on the handle bars.

you guys are funny!

...seriously tho, it must be something with the new horn. Maybe its the way operates. You probly just have to figure out the schematic side of the horn and wire it accordingly.
