Most likely the cause is the plastic parts falling apart in the steering wheel.
See post below for a little more info. You might have to get the kit in the post to fix it.

Follow above two suggestions. I just looked at the schematic and there is no relay for the horn.

You can unplug them in the meantime. There is a wire spring retainer that you need to depress and then they come unplugged easily.

Jeff Caplan at www.odometergears.com sells a kit to repair the horn switch in the steering wheel.
