Sounds like there's a short to ground in the horn curcuit. I would trace the wiring and see how it looks. Welcome to NICO!

Is it the main horn or the Theft Warning Horn? It could be a grounding problem for the main horn as Kenny mentioned or could be a defective horn relay or 'crossed wires.' There are 2 additional Theft Horn Relays, one of which can also cause the main horn to turn on. Refer to the attached FSM, page EL-114 for the main horn wiring diagram, page EL-264/269 for the Theft Horn Relays and EL-307 for relay locations.

the problem seemed to resolve itself for now lol. i plugged the wires to the horn back in and its been working fine. it was raining really bad the day it happened so maybe the wires got wet or something?? and i don't have an alarm so its not that
