Default Short in horn

I've got a short somewhere in my horn. If I turn my steering wheel a little bit to the right of dead center my horn blows. Have any of you had a situation like this before and if so where might be the best place to start looking?
Thanks for your help.

I had a similar problem and I'm not sure if Bubba was in my steering column. If you take off the horn cap and the 3 screws which hold the metal ring to the column, you should have some sort of spring (mine looked like a Q-Jet power piston spring) and some type of metal (on mine, it was a srcrew) which makes contact with the metal ring. On mine, the screw was also coming into contact with the metal on the steering column.

In case you didn`t already know this, the horn button just pulls straight off. :cheers:

I have a similar issue where my horn honks intermittanly, I think mine has a sensor in the front of the car that monitors for people within 20 feet of the front of my car and it will at that point start honking just to scare the bejesus out of them and make me look like a complete ahole. Mine tends to be extra sensitive in parking lots or other areas where there is plenty of foot traffic.
