Default Horn stuck on, searched.

So I've owned my '95 LS since August and with 2 other "project cars" on my plate, the LS is kinda the last on the list since it's so reliable. I just drive it and forget about it....

I'm tackling it's small issues one at a time and I'm currently addressing the horn, or lack thereof. It's never worked, so my first step was obviously to check the fuse, which turned out to be missing. No big deal, right? Threw a new one in and was immediately greeting by the horns (scared the **** out of me.) Step two, pull the steering wheel apart and check out it's connections.

Turns out without the airbag in the wheel, the horn works like normal but as soon as I snap the airbag back in it just stays on. Nothing looks out of the ordinary and I don't the the airbag is causing a constant-on situation but I'm baffled at this point.

Anyone got anything for me?

Solved - the horn/airbag assembly was making contact at the top as if someone slammed their hand down on it and bent it just enough to rub.

Yay!
