Re: ANOTHER Horn Problem - Need Help Please

If I understand the horn wiring correctly, the horn grounds to the metal in the column, mine grounds to a steering wheel bolt. So if a wire isn't insulated/pinched, or that cancel cam pin hits metal, you'll sound the horn. Might be just a bit too long so it contacts something only when you tighten down the wheel nut.
Just my guess with very little experience.
The horn starts going off with just the cancel cam and nothing above it. All I have to do is push it into position and that's when the horn starts honking. I can push the copper button on the signal switch all the way in with with my finger and nothing happens. But when I put the cam on and seat it (far enough to depress the copper button) that's when the horn goes off.
