Description of the problem	So i own an '08 jeep wrangler x. My problem happens to be with the factory timp on my vehicle. On three separate occasions the car decided it was time to blare the horn non stop as well as flash lights and utilize its windshield whippers and fluid. Today, 11/20/215, was the longest and most frustrating episode. Usually the horn would start but then subside after 20-30 seconds. This was not the case and at 5am the horn, lights, and whippers started going off and didn't stop until i had to pull the fuses for the horn. After that everything stopped and i only had to remove the two horn fuses. I also want to add that the heater did not work until after this entire episode as i was in fact driving while this all occurred. In addition to this issue i have experienced gas spit back on multiple occasions while filling up. I have researched both issues and it seems as these are both related to a defective timp. I have also read there currently isn't a recall and they are on back order nation wide. I have not attempted to repair issue yet.
