I think your message came to me via  the list, but my reply might 
have accidentally gone just back to you.

You could also check where the lower end of the steering shaft exits 
the body. It must not touch the body there. The steering wheel hub 
must also not touch the stationary part of the steering column. If 
your TS switch does not cancel properly, it's possible that the 
spring in there has broken free and is shorting at times.

There's also a nylon bushing in the steering column that isolates the 
steering shaft bearing from the column. If there's a lot of play in 
your steering shaft, that bushing might have crumbled, but that would 
be pretty unusual and would probably cause the horn to sound all the 
time.
