Hot horn
Any ideas why my horn is hot...on all the time? I removed my horn relay cleaned it and put it back in place. I have a battery shut off and when i turned it on no stop horn! Can the relay go back to cause this sort of reaction?

I'll try ti get a schematic posted tomorrow, it will make things alot more clear, as there is an insulator tab under the hub than can cause this also if one iof the tabs break off.

Thanks! Forgot to mention non-tele steering. I did replace the turn signal switch and put everything back together but notices when I attached the upper horn contact it seemed hot ie sparking when touching the steering wheel.

damnit, be careful. i had a similair problem with a buick skylark (1972).
figured i'd bring it in after the holidays, (christmas, new years) but, unhappily, it never made it.
damn thingn burned in my driveway an hour after i parked it, christmas night, 3 years ago.
not trying to scare you, just telling you what happened to me, and i wouldn't wish it on anyone.
it could be something totally different than what happened to mine, but it doesn't sound it.
don't drive it. get the thing towed and fixed.
