Sounds to me like you have a stray ground somewhere. Check your
assembly to be sure that the powered leads and ground leads are
isolated. Trace the circuit paths through the switch visually and make
sure it is properly assembled. Remember that the horns have power
applied at all times and are activated by grounding the circuit through
the switch button on the trafficator.
