Horn stuck on!?!?

Stuck button in the steering wheel.  The four-button ones just pull out.  Don't lose the springs...bend them back a little to suit, problem solved.
 
Never taken apart a sport wheel, with the central button.  Likely very similar.

I fixed mine with a non-airbag wheel.  I'd say that you have a loose contact or a short against the slip ring.
