Disconnecting alarm horn.

Hi guys, So my aftermarket alarm on my other car is on the fritz and keeps going off for no reason, i think it only happens when its semi foggy at night. Anyway, so my neighbors complained so i was wondering if its ok if i just cut the wire to the horn(yes, a stupid question LOL)? I'm afraid i might hurt something if i do. I dont want to remove the whole unit, because i still need keyless entry and crap. I'm totally clueless when it comes to anything that has to do with wires. Any info would be appreciated

Are you speaking of the after-market siren, or the OEM horn?

If its the after-market siren/horn output device, simple cut the black wire.

Otherwise, you won't pass inspection, in a state with inspections, if your horn doesn't sound.
