The horn situation is probably not related.  One of the wear modes of the
horn contact ring is the production of fine brass "threads" which protrude
from the contact ring and make occasional contact, usually when the wheel is
turned to one position or another.

  OK, I'm still banging my head against this wiper/horn thing and though
I thought I had it resolved. I do not. Not only did changing out the
ignition switch for a new one, the end result was....Nada. They still
don't work but intermittently, AND to add woe to worry, now the heater
fans do not work. They too follow the same intermittent pattern. With
the new switch, jiggling it doesn't work. Not only that, the horn blows
when I turn the steering wheel.

HELP!

Thanks,

John
