How is your battery doing? Sounds like it may be dickered. Of all the electrical crap in a car, horns usually pull the most current, right behind the starter. So with a weak battery, I could see the horn being weak but when running, a properly functioning alternator will keep the battery at like 14.7V or what not.1985 LTD Crown Victoria - SOLD

+1 battery probably has a weak cell. Have someone crank the car. If it drops below 11V before it starts, you have at least 1 weak or dead cell.
