The horn has power all the time..........
to activate the horn.. the circuit needs ground........ so it is seeking 
ground thru something......
there is only one brown brown wire from the horn.. to the connection at the 
rag joint.. or rubber donut,, steering coupler.. what ever you want to call 
it.. you can access that under the tin plate at the bottom of the steering 
column.

in my experience, I have almost always found the problem is under the tin 
cover at the bottom of the steering column.. and the horn switch has a 
parallel connection by this tin cover..  I have found the column is not 
aligned at the dash.. and the tin is not in place correctly .. and the 
plastic ring that insulates the tin plate from the steering column is not in 
place,, or is bend, buggered , twisted,, out of place..

with this bus.. Bob has done a lot of wiring ... corrections.......  so I 
can only guess ....... but if the ground is always there.. AND there is 
another fault where other wiring in the bus has connected to the power 
circuit to the horn..... which would be VERY strange... then the horn would 
activate with the power from that circuit...

hope that helps
