Probably what caused the problem was this: when the ignition switch was
replaced, the steering lock assembly was probably not adjusted to proper
position after the wheel was installed. Most don't realize there is an
adjustment that locates the horn contact in proper relation to the ring
on the backside of the steering wheel. The entire switch cluster has
about 1/2" of movement. Bending the contact 'up' worked because the
cluster was improperly adjusted.
