Default Horn randomly sounding (briefly)

Hi. The car (2003 XKR) has started randomly and briefly sounding the horn, when driving. It doesn't seem to have any pattern.....not always over bumps, when turning the steering wheel etc......just a very short 'bip' or sometimes two.
Any ideas where to start the hunt for the culprit ?
Cheers.
Rob

I think I'd start with the relay as it's the easiest bit to get to (engine compartment fuse box). First test - remove the relay and drive the car, does the bipping stop? You could try a replacement relay, after that it's the steering wheel cassette and the horn buttons.
