i said horn sensor before meant to say relay whoops

Ah. I thought you meant button. If the wire from the column isn't connected on the relay, does the horn still sound? I think it's a small brown wire on the relay. There is a big red as well as a dark green that goes to the horns. the third wire.....brown?

Most likey........the wire in the column that goes up to the horn button simply grounds the horn relay in order to energize it and blow the horn. Check to see if it's shorted to ground when you wiggle around on the steering column harness.

sorry got called into work couldn't finish it up. so ran a couple of leads to the the switch to bypass the black wire. i ( no no random horn sound) already changed out the harness that comes down the steering column. because i had no tail tight flashers (switched to led) and thanks who ever said ground the one that wasn't working. any way now when i check my switch with my light i have no power. at the horn button.
