Answer 1

You likely have a short or a loose wire inside of the steering wheel assembly that is grounding out the horn when you turn the wheel.  That is typically the only place where a short might happen during a turn.

You willneed to take off the horn ring/button and likely the steering wheel and look for a loose wire or a broken actuator (the thing that cancells your turn signal when you finish the turn) or simpler still simply a s***w that has come loose and is rolling around.

Taking the steering wheel off will require a special tool which you can often rent if you can not buy or borrow it.  But the whole process is pretty simple.  Once you get the wheel off you should be able to see the problem.

Check your headlights fluid level, could be low.

Sounds like a new government safety feature. You need to remove the horn pad. Something is shorting out under there. Not a big deal except.....if you have an airbag, I wouldn't mess with it at all under any circumstances. Let a mechanic do it. I'd go to a dealer if it was me. There maybe a recall even.  

Answer 4

There is a thin black wire inside your steering column connecting to your steering wheel that makes your horn button work! That cable might be LOOSE or making false contact when you turn! Try to remove the sterring wheel and plug the cable to your horn buttons tightly... that should do the trick! OR, if you just had your car in a shop... they might have rewired your cables... just for fun and to charge you to get em fixed! Hope this helps!
