Stan, my first thought is something mechanical interfering at the column,
like a dime or such.  IIRC the horn is always live and is operated by
grounding it, so there shouldn't be any way for power coming from the
high-beams switch to make any difference.  I'd take a close look at the
steering wheel/column joint area, take the wheel off it necessary.
