My VW turns the headlights off (and leaves the parking lights on) when the engine is off and the key's in the accessory position but the horn still works.
In the casee of my 944, the horn only works when the car is running. Are you suggesting this is not the way it should be?? I wanna know so I can fix it if indeed my car is backwards.
Also, in case of a stall, the horn should work just fine when the car is off. That is why I'm confused about the whole thing.

The horn should work when the key is in the "run" position. Note that "Run" is NOT the same as "Accessory".
The key has three stops and four positions in the following order:
1 - Off
2 - Accessory
3 - Run
4 - Start (key will not stay here, but will bounce back to "Run" when released)
The horn will not work with the key in the "Accessory" position, only with the key in the "Run" position. It should have nothing at all to do with whether the engine is running, only the position of the key. Turn the key to the "Run" position without starting the engine. The horn will work then.
