Too many blue pills or not enough blue pill.... hehehehe

If the horn was beeping on and off, I would say it has an old alarm fitted.

Does it have a siren mounted under the bonnet? the control module will more then likely be mounted above the petals and the wiring tapped into the back of the ignition switch.

If it was just staying on then you have a problem either with the relay, the wiring from the relay to the horn switch or the horn switch itself.

Do you still have the genuine steering wheel fitted?

Grab yourself a voltmeter or test light, connect one end to the positive battery terminal, connect the other end (relay removed) into the Light Green wire with a Black trace at the relay base.

Does the test light, light up? or voltmeter read around 12 volts?.

If it does you have a short in the wire harness going to the horn switch or a faulty horn switch.

If it doesn't press the horn switch, does the test light or voltmeter work now? if so replace the relay.

Let us know how you go.

Cheers Rodney
