Strange Case of Overactive Horns

[magwakeenercew2jh]

Been dealing with this off and on all day. I think I'll take both Daner's and Yooper's tips a little further and take the steering wheel off, since it's been a few hours.... and it's still grounded.

What the heck, I was looking for something to do, anyway.

Yooper,

For the record, I think our issue was the same. After I took off the wheel (again), I did a few things. Thanks to you, the first was to crank down a
little on the three cam housing "screws".

Then, I ground down a touch of the turn signal stalk....down by the flat part where the one screw holds it into the plastic turn signal cam housing.

After that, and while I was in there, I inspected my grounds ...or, actually, the buffer between the horn ring and the rest of anything else that could ground it.
I have a little resto-mod set up on the horn ring that was a little too close for comfort. So, I spaced it out from the wheel with some non-conductive material.

Good to go. Over a day has passed and no issues...hahahaha!!! Who knows?

Thanks again for the tips, you all.

Glad to hear that you have apparently solved your problem. Electrical problems can take some diggin!!!

I will add that my problem too, had to do with the turn signal lever, but it was because the lone screw by which it is attached to the cam had stripped out the hole in the cam. The lever was flopping around in there, making contact at random, causing the horn to sound same.

I pulled the steering wheel and replaced the screw with a slightly larger screw with more of a sheet metal vs. machine screw threading. the larger screw tightened up nicely onto the cam.....haven't had an errant horn since.

BTW, took the family to Yosemite last month, drove through your little town.......beautiful country.
