Default Horn relay buzzer goes off without key in ignition

Is this normal operation? If I open the door the buzzer goes off regardless if the key is in the ignition.

For those of you who don't already know, I hate electric problems. :mad
Everytime I cut a wire, I let the smoke out of it. :lol:

Additional Info:
This may be normal, I dont know. The buzzer goes off when the door is open after I move the key to the "on" position. If this is normal, I may disconnect it because that buzzer is quite annoying.

No No---The key warning buzzer only buzzes when the keys are in the ignition switch and you open the door. I bet that the small switch in the column is broken and is making contact all the time, a very common problum. The tele-tilt switches are $$$ but I believe that the std column switches are common and still avaliable. Thad PS that will bust you on PV

Anyone making these little switches for TT? The cylinder and horn relay/buzzer are both new.
