Yup, you are grounding out in the steering column. When you press the horn, you are supplying ground to the horn (juice is supplied whenever the key is on). That ground wire runs up the steering column and connects on the underside of the horn plate/button on the steering wheel. Pull the horn plate/button and look at the wire plugged into it. Check if there are any bare spots where it comes out of the column.
