Hello all. I recently(back in november) bought a 02 midnight blue P5 manual w/ 52K miles. Love this car!!! Ive been searching this site for a few months now, seeing what others have done to their cars, what common problems there are, ect....great site, very informative!
Here was little incident i had this weekend, it was time to change plugs/wires since i didnt know when the last time the previous owner did that. well i disconnected the neg battery cable and got to work. the install went without a problem. but when i reconnected the battery cable the horn beeped once. didnt think anything of it and tried to start the car, it wouldnt start. all i heard was one click. then all of a sudden the horn started to beep out of control, my hazard lights and my alarm light on the steering column started blinking. so i disconnected the battery again and sat there w/ a puzzled look on my face. reconnected the battery again and again got the same results as the last time. i took the fuse for the horn out so i could take a look around w/o it blasting in my ear. well once i took the fuse out and tried to start her again, it started fine. no CEL, nothing! i put the fuse back in and took a ride around the block. everything was working fine and has been ever since. could i have done something to the car on accident? ive done this type of work on previous cars ive owned and never encountered this? any ideas or thoughts?
