Description of the problem	Driving home after work at night on the interstate,approx. 75mph, the windshield washer and wipers come on and the horn starts blowing continuously and wont stop, i pulled off on the closest freeway exit and pulled off the road and shut off the engine,but even with removing the key from the ignition switch it continued to run with the washers,wipers and horn going.... After several attempts turning the ignition switch on and off the motor finally stopped running but the washers,wipers and horn continued until i disconnected the battery...
