Hey Frank,
Assuming you have a horn that is live all the time and gets
grounded through the horn push with no relay. Is the horn isolated from
the car by rubber bushings? if so they may be worn allowing the horn to
move and ground itself or something may be touching the horn body and
grounding it when you corner.
If not try disconnecting the horn wiring to the push and see if it
still blows, that way you at least eliminate the horn push mechanism.
Good Luck.
P.S. I installed the rear springs last night. I used the HD ones from
MOSS and now the rear is just as high as the front and the engine is not
in yet. I sure hope they settle or I will be putting the old springs
back in (at least the spring pockets are clean now).
