[T3] Horn Beeps on its own

[William J]

 If it's only left turns and bumps I would look at the ground lead across 
the steering coupling on the column side . Or is it possible since the 
ground wire and hot wire enter on the left side can't recall how close it is 
to the spare tire off hand that turning left pinches the ground near the 
tank . Is there anything sitting on top of the truck liner in that area? 
Mine is a 73 I think the ground and hot enter through a grommet through the 
lower spare tire well .
