Electrical Issue: lights are flashing and the horn is flashing with the key out of the ignition 850 1996

Phil,

Thank you for your response. My daughter does not have a remote key fob with her. She just has an ordinary key to start the car. As I mentioned, the car horn goes off. I don't think it is the horn that is dedicated to the alarm system. The 84=50 has two conventional horns in the front of the engine bay, just in front of the radiator, if I recall correctly. Then there is a single horn attached dead center to the firewalk. I heard the horn briefly as I spoke to my daughter and it did not sound like the horn dedicated to the alarm, but to the car horn triggered by pressing down on the central hub of the steering wheel. Also, when the alarm is triggered on the car, all you hear is the alarm horn and the headlights do not flash. I suspect the problem may be related to the ignition switch or the wiring harness. Something is shorting out on this car, even without the key in the ignition. I will post an answer when the problem is finally diagnosed.

Hugh
