1980 Horn problems

[treasureseeker]

Hi, newby here, but I have a problem with my 1980 Corvette,


I just changed out the dash wiring harness and now my horn will blow for no reason, then get stuck blowing constantly,

if I disconnect it at the horn and reconnect it, it does not start back , but if you hit the steering wheels rim fairly hard, it will start blowing again....

the center horn ring LOOKS ok, all 3 rivets are intact but kinda hard to tell if the insulation is still good..... should I replace that first, or could there be a short somewhere else

any ideas?
thanks
Larry

HI there,
So, its definately shorting out inside the column.
Unfortunately, i have seen this alot with the cancelling cam creating issues if its not positioned JUST RIGHT.
Remove the horn pad and take a look.
Make sure the metal doesnt touch anything but the center stud.
Allthebest, c4c5
