Horn problems!

What would cause my horn to constantly go off?? I had to pull the fuse because it just would not stop! What's wrong with it?

First thoughts are stuck relay, bad clockspring under steering wheel (every had airbags deployed?) or a basic shorted wire. In that order if I had to guess. Good luck!

Airbag has never deployed, but horns were replaced 9 months ago. Had got rear ended and had front end damage as well.

The relay is an easy swap with another like relay to eliminate it as a cause. I would trace the horn wires as far as you can. Maybe one got pinched.

I once bought a 2002 Hyundai XG350 loaded out for 600 bucks because it wouldn't rev over 1k RPM after a wreck. Turns out the O2 wire had shorted against the radiator support causing mayhem. Took me a while to find with a meter but was an easy fix, and easy money on that car. Shorted wires can suck to find though, I do that on aircraft for a living. Hope you find it.
