Chrysler Repair: Plymouth Breeze Horn, flexible coupling, plymouth breeze

Question
I have a 96 Plymouth Breeze. The horn will not stop. I had to remove the relay to silence it. Any ideas?

Answer
Hi Mark,
Either the relay is stuck in the "on" position, or the grounding wire that activates the relay is shorted to ground due to a break in the insulation or a detachment that has caused a ground at the flexible coupling on the steering column/steering wheel interface that is called the "clockspring", or the horn switch on the steering is shorted to ground instead of operating normally.
If you have an ohmmeter you could check the wire by measuring whether the top socket pin (of the three in a row on the right side of the horn relay socket) is infinite to ground or 0 ohms to ground.
If infinite, then the relay is bad (points fused together internally)
If 0 then that wire which goes to the steering column is shorted somewhere along the path that I described. It is black/red in color, There is a second branch of the same wire that goes to the adjacent body computer at the fuse box, so check that too though I would doubt that is the source of the false ground.
That would be my approach.
