Something has been wrong with the horn wiring on my car since I got it. I ended up just unpluging both horns and taking them out, rendering the horn button useless. Well I was driving the other day and noticed that when I turned the steering wheel to a certain spot, the steering wheel backing would rub the column causing a short somewhere, the radio and lights flickered. Soon after I noticed this, I pulled the horn button off to look and the two horn wires were flickering (sparks) and eventually touched causing smoke and orange wires. So in order to get home, I cut those two wires. When I got home, I find that a wire from the steering column harness has melted to other wires or whatever it could touch as well as more stuff all the way to the turn signal flasher. So I guess this is the turn signal wire which would explain why they weren't working on the way home. I replaced the flasher (silver thing) and taped up the entire length of the melted wire. Well, turn signals still dont work. What in the world is going on here?
I should mention that the steering wheel column wiring harness was replaced a few months back b/c I had broken some of the plastic around horn contacts and such. The emergency flashers work, and everything else in the car electrical works. I've tried to be real organized with any/all wiring/electrical stuff in the dash.
Thanks
