Electrical Problems - Horn and Backup Lights

[zipgun]

Hey everybody, it's been awhile. I have a 89 Burb with the backup lights stuck on and the horn inoperable. I think the wiring harness that controls both of these runs down the steering column and i think it may have shorted out on the column itself. The vehicle is a former law enforcement burb that had quite a bit of extra radio mounts and computer mounts in it. Just wondering if anyone has had the same combination of problems. Solutions anyone ?

i had a problem sort of like your's a bout a year ago on my 72 chevy monte carlo. i had a tilt colume a when i would tilt the wheel up or down it would honk the horn. i cuold also here like a spark coming from in the colume when the horn would honk. when the light's were out in the garage you could even seen the spark in the colume. it would also happen when i put the car in drive or park, i had to disconect the horn. but this did not fix the problem.. i would wake up the next day to go to work and the battery would be dead so it use to drain the battery aswell... i had to replace the steering colume, or have mine took a part and it get's pretty pricey. i pick a used one up for a 100 buck's and installed it and had no problem's with the horn going off when i tilt the wheel or put the car in park....goog luck.............
