My Cabrio was giving three short horn honks intermittently while driving yesterday. The ABS light was also on, though inconsistently. It finally just shut down with the Check Engine, Check Oil, and Check Battery.

Check all your major power and ground terminals/connections.

Check every fuse and replace all the blown ones. Sometimes the fusebox ontop of the battery
melts. If thats all fine, remove the battery and battery tray. You will see several brown ground cables underneath thebattery tray, remove them, clean all the corrosion off them and re-install.
