Default Horn Honking when turning the key

whenever, I am turning the key in ON position, my horn starts honking. I have disconnected the cable from the back of the horn to get rid of the issue. Any help is very much appreciated.

You must tell us what you are working on, Harley has been putting electric horns on their motorcycles for at least 50 years...

There is no relay for a horn.

Have you done any work on the left hand control switches?

yep was jesting. the horn is a direct circuit so my suspect would be short to power in the handle bar housing.

perhaps a fused contact in the horn buttom
