Brake Calipers in relation to Horn?
Today I was out swapping 4 pots to the old singles. When I gave the bolts a jar to break free The horn honked. I thought strange? Next thing I know when I wiggle the rotor the Horn SHREIKS at me like no tomorrow! I put everything back into place and a fine and well. What gives here my car possesed?

that is truly bizzare. the horn or horn wiring arent anywhere near the brake caliper/rotor. the only wires that would be anywhere near that vicinity could be ABS sensor wires, but again, how does that effect the horn? maybe you were somehow setting off the alarm?
