Kevin,, You might have a bad horn relay or have it wired up wrong...  Some
relays are designed that you can wire them so that once you tell it to turn on
it then continuals to supply power to the relay coil and keeps it on..  Sounds
like your problem...  did this relay come with the horn???  Bob M

  First, I know that it is next to impossible to diagnose electricals
  over the internet...

  Situation:  Completely new wiring harnesses-  all of them, main, rear,
  and OD.  New relays, new nearly everything.

  All seems to be working well except that when I honk the horn, it will
  not quit!  It is silent until I make the circuit at the sterring wheel,
  then it honks.  I break the circuit, but horn continues to blow, until
  I disconnect the battery.

  This is a cheap aftermarket air horn-  could it be shorted out
  internally?  It is one thing in the system that is not new, and I was
  having this problem before the new wiring.  I have checked the horn
  button to relay circuit- it seems to be behaving as designed.

  HELP!
