You may have one issue. You may have two issues.

Issue #1: it's probably your ignition switch. A replacement will
probably take care of all the problems. A relatively easy fix.

Issue #2: Broken, damaged, or worn out horn ring in the steering wheel.
Also a relatively easy fix. Just be sure when the new horn ring is
installed that a small amount of dielectric grease is applied where
contact finger on the ring slides.

Good Luck,

John

I pulled over and tried the high beams and they came on, as did the wipers and blower. As long as I hold onto the high beam turn signal switch, then everything works, when I let go everything shuts off. Also, sometimes the horn will toot when turning the steering wheel. Has anyone experienced this before?
