Horn won't shut off
I finally connected my new horn relay , when I connect the hot lead the horns sound and won't shut off. I checked the steering wheel horn contacts and nothing is touching. Where should I check ?

Check the horn relay on the firewall inside the engine compartment

Make sure the circuit from the horn relay to the steering column is not grounded.

wiring in the column if it's tilt for sure.
May still be that if it's not.

I checked the horn contacts so it's not that, all the wiring forward of the firewall is new. I guess I will be pulling the steering wheel next.

If it does, the short is in the column, if not then the wiring to the relay or the relay.

Well I decided since I had the steering wheel pulled off I replaced the turn signal switch. I opened up the relay and the inside was shorted out , the wires were burnt. I guess I will be getting a new horn relay. Thanks for the responses.
