I had a similar problem with my 87.  Replacing the horn ring and the
related contact on the steering column solved the problem. The ring had worn and
a part of it had nearly broken off and was grounding the horn circuit
causing  the horn to sound.

Well,  Volks, it appears a Horn Gremlin has taken up residence in my 88
GL. Now  when I drive down the road, the horn just sounds on its on,
whenever it  pleases. It seems to be related to movement of the steering
wheel. Move the  wheel, blow the horn. But not every time.

So, Volks, what say you?  Ideas??

Thanks,
