Used truck to pull a small float in a parade that day, it rained in the AM and the truck was outside during the rain. Later that day, at parade time, it was partly cloudy and 80. After the parade the horn started honking sporadically then it went to a solid honk. I disconnected the battery in order to silence the truck as a crowd was gathering and proceeded to pull the horn fuse.
The keys were on the dash so no buttons were depressed at the time of the occurance. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

You have a short circuit. It could be your horn switch but the culprit is most the wiring or the relay itself. Once you locate the horn relay, diconnect one of the power lines leading to it (one of the thinner ones as that is what comes from the switch). If the relay releases then it is in the wiring. The cheapest fix, rather than take the steering wheel apart to get at the switch, is to run a new switch to the cut wires.

Sounds like a bad horn contact in the column. Needs to be replaced. Check the horn relay 1st.
