Hi Aaron,
I had a similar horn issue last year, horn also sounded when the steering
was at its limit in one direction. Changing the steering column rubber
bushes solved the issue in my case.

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
