That's bad.
on an 02 f150 the horn trigger is dark blue at the column and sends a ground to the horn. I don't know if that signal runs through the gem, but your problem sounds GEM related. I am thinking one of the chassis grounds maybe getting power and flipping the GEM out.

I had to replace my cluster to swap my GEM, including core I paid $515. Yours should be integrated like mine so expect less.
