I don't mean to toot my own horn, but my truck does
 

It's happened a couple times, once last year, and again yesterday. When the steering wheel turns slightly to the left, horn goes off. You can hear the "clicking" of a switch at the bottom of the colum, real quick. Almost a buzz it clicks so quick. I pulled over and unplugged the horn, then took the next exit to a gas station. 15min later, problem went away.
Has this happened to anyone? Is it common? I realize I will prob have to change the whole colum, will that cure the issue?

The horn wire grounds to the column to complete the circuit. Look for a bad wire in the column. You may even find the disc under the horn button has shifted some and is coming into contact with the column. Check all the connections under the horn button inside the steering wheel for miss alignment.;):chevy:

The screw that holds the turn signal lever backed out on mine and that happened.
Is your lever a little sloppy?

....not overly sloppy on the turn signal lever, but a very noisy column. Lotsa clunkin and rattlin. It is time to replace it for sure.

Thank you guys

Ditto. Mine was stripped out. Ijust put a bigger screw in it. Been a few years now.

That clicking is the horn relay, mounted on the inside of the firewall near the bottom of the steering column.

Like others have said, the circuit is getting grounded near the horn button or inside the steering column. When testing or troubleshooting, just leave the horns unplugged and listen for the clicking of the relay.
