I had this problem in my 82 vette. Every so often when I'd turn left, the car would honk for no reason. I ignored it, hoping it would go away.

Couple weeks went by, it kept happening. I was driving home, turning left, and the wheel locked up. Couldn't turn, hit a street sign. A bit more embarassing than the horn going off, but both caused by the same thing it turns out.

Once I got home and took off the steering wheel, it turned out there was a screw loose and moving around. When it hit the right spot, it would engage the horn. When it got stuck, it locked up the wheel.

Good times...
