Hmmmm... I wonder if that extra bit of load as you beep the horn is an indication that you need to check or replace your battery ground wire. That's what I would check first. Then the positive battery wire. After that, I'd check all the rest of the ground connections. Any extra voltage drops kinda screw up the voltage to the F.I. system.
