"Twitch in steering column": is horn unplugged and its relay intermittently engaging--like an intermittent short in horn mechanism inside column? Is that 'twitch' something you feel like static electricity? Horn 'spring-washer' in column can give you such a charge if touching it as it makes-and-breaks.

I'm not sure as my horn in my cheapo GT steering wheel doesnt work. Instead I have one mounted.

Yours on st. column not working may just be a hint that it is setting off the relay intermittently.
