Thanks for all the feedback-----so far I have removed the business end of the
trafficator (a real pain to get back together) and found no reason there for
the horn to blow by itself. The insides of the trafficator needed a good
cleaning anyway, the signal light contacts were filthy. OK--------put it all
back together and still the horn blows when I push the wheel
forward-------so----guess the next move is to pull it all out of the tube and
inspect it. quick question----what is the position of the cancelling piece on
the metal ring in relation to the two "triggers"? should that piece be
centered between the two triggers? Assume so. That's where I put it, but I'm
not getting canceling now.Great way to spend pandemic time:):)Tom

Certainly agree with Bob.I would think that the stator harness (inside the
stator tube which is inside the steering shaft which is inside the steering
column) is damaged. The stator harness can be changed without actually removing
the stator tube, easier on your car with the adjustable steering wheel, but it
takes careful work and some degree of patience.

The horn button grounds the circuit IIRC (the lead is hot). Check
the connectors out of the steering box, but if it's not that then,
yeah, you have something exposed to ground somewhere.
