Hi List,

I have an unintentional horn problem and would like the wisdom of the 
list.  When the steering wheel is pushed or pulled towards the right as 
you sit in the drivers seat the horn will go off.  It does not go off 
when the steering wheel is pushed or pulled in any other direction.  It 
started last fall after I had the dash apart and tightened up the 
steering column mounts to take care of some slop.  I have peered under 
the dash to try to determine where the unintentional grounding might be 
occurring but I can't see anything specific.  I did wedge a small piece 
of wood between the dash and the column to try to keep the column all 
the way to the left but all this did was make the horn sound off with 
less pressure than before.  This leads me to believe that the problem 
might be inside the column itself.  Before I started pulling the 
steering wheel or other parts off the car I thought I would check with 
the list.  Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Aaron
