That should be the subject of a completely new thread but I am going to say that you already connected your wires on the switch to the trucks harness and the horn connector is grounding out on the steering shaft when you try to go over it.

You have to flip the piece that moves one way or the other on all of them to get the screws in. It is too late and dark to go out and take a photo of the 70 column and switch I have now but you should be able to move that with your fingers.
