On the 85 GL I use to have the horn would blow by itself on really windy
days. I used to drive the highway a lot around Turnagain Arm outside
Anchorage Alaska. The Arm was noted for it's strong gusty winds. An on
days when it was blowing, really strong gusts would cause the horn to
sound. Pretty startling when it happened. Never happened anywhere else
except on that one stretch of highway.
