As part of the last push (finish this car).
Tried horn button, in momo steering wheel.
It jams on, turn ignition off it goes quiet.
Same result with just the wire tapped against the steering column.
Jams on till ignition is switched!?

Any ideas?

Nothing to do with the column bearing. This is often the problem when the horn is intermittent - this one is 'on' all the time.
Which wire tapped against the steering column? The brown/yellow to the carbon brush on the column?
If not, does the horn sound with the steering wheel removed?
