Working to get the horn going and originally thought there was a bad relay but turns out its good. Fuses were blowing. Then discovered when the High horn was removed the fuse would no longer blow. Fixed this. Now down to the horn sounding constantly. Think it has been traced back to the neutral safety switch and think there may be a short or something between it and the horn ring?  Any suggestions from here in figuring out the remainder?

Thanks.

Hi Steve  :)

I had a similar problem to this on mine.  I pulled the round chrome horn ring button off in the center of the steering wheel and under that are the horn components.  The rubber gasket in between the metal components had cracked and come apart in several places and I made another one for it and that fixed the problem.  Let me know if this works for you.

Appreciate the response. I must be missing a rubber grommet. Don't go through a lot of trouble but if you have a pic of the complete setup would be great. Any other comments you might think of as well. Thanks again!
