need Horn help !! wont stop going off!

recently the horn on my 98 cherokee limited started to go off without me touching the wheel. sometimes it goes off while driving, and sometimes while im in my house nowhere near my car, keys, or remote. i cant seem to figure out why its doing this ! its very obnoxious at night to the neighbors . please help me !

in the mean time, pull the relay on the passenger side by the floor boards. second black box from the bottom should keep the horn from blowing
