Wierdest Things that Can Only Happen To You!! (85)
mylifewithu: Last summer it was my 1 yr. old Television going bonkers, nothing like I have ever seen.
This time it was my car , It apparently wants to come inside. My neighbors woke me earlier saying your car is doing something weird, it's screaming.
I could hear it loudly. I got dressed, grabbed my car keys and a pair of pliers.
On my way I was thinking please don't let it be my car making this horrible loud noise. But forget wishing, cause in the back of my mind I knew it will be my car. Only the weirdest things happen to me.
I unlock the door , pop the hood and unhook the negative battery cable. The screaming stops, but I touch the cable back to the terminal and it screams for the time that I had the cable touching the battery.
I hate freaking technology but love it at the same time, I went online looked up thinking it could be the horn, I was right. So I have a choice to unplug the horn , if I can figure out where it is and what it looks like.
Online it said 94' mazda's have a problem with a foam pad under the horn relay getting worn and when the weather gets cold the contacts can contract and touch due to that worn down pad. It said I need to replace the relay inside the steering column, or I can temporary make it stop by hitting the horn inside the car. I didn't know at that moment what was the noise coming from for sure so pulling the battery cable I figured was the fastest most reliable way to stop it screaming to come inside.
So what is the weirdest thing that has happened to you in the wee hours of the morning.

Good story...and in every job I've ever had, if there was something weird that could happen to me, it would.
My weirdest moment in the early hours had to do with a stuck car horn too. I was living back with my parents at the time, and was on my way home at about 5 am (bar, after-hours club, breakfast...before anybody gets other ideas), and as I turned off the highway, my horn stuck. I learned that this is the fastest way to have your car surrounded by every policeman on duty within hearing distance...I had 5 of them do it that morning, and search inside with a flashlight as they made sure that I was OK...funny thing, the horn stopped as soon as I turned the steering wheel to pull off of the road. (Apparently this is a distress signal one should use if someone is hijacking you and your car...that's what they were checking for with the flashlight.)
So...they let me proceed though my sleepy small town, and as I turned onto my street, the horn got stuck again. By the time I ran into the house to wake my dad up (yep...thought he might still be sleeping ), I found him fastening his pants on the run down the stairs, telling me to grab a damned screwdriver and pliers.
From that point on I had to wait until after 8 am to come home if I was staying out that late....

I just thought of one!!
Once, I was dreaming someone was coming after me. So, I got up & started running... straight into the open wardrobe door next to my bed. Gashed the middle of my face & knocked myself out cold. Then, I started dreaming it again... realized I was getting up to run again, & said, "Hell no! Not doing that again!" & Got back into bed.
Yes, I'm totally serious! You should've seen the faces of my co-workers when I tried explaining the gash on my face!!

Hey, howdy.
Nothing unusual to report... I'm boring, my life's boring, my dog is bored, even the fish are yawning!
Aren't you supposed to remove the positive cable first?
Seems it's to be neg on first, off last.
I had a Mazda that had a horn that sounded like a gazoo, but not that loud!
Good luck!

Well I looked it up and it said unhook negative first, but at that time it was the easiest to unhook. Nothing unusual to report... I'm boring, my life's boring, my dog is bored, even the fish are yawning!

But I left the positive hooked up , I may have a dead battery by now. Omg, oh well.

A couple of years ago, my brother & I went to Mississippi to visit my father. We were driving from our hotel to a casino to have dinner. All of a sudden, my horn went haywire! We're driving down the street with the horn beeping intermittently at people!! You should've seen the people jumping & waving!!

Well then, I guess it's pos on first, off last.
See, I can be corrected.
