Default 97 xj car horn going off while driving

So my car horn is randomly going off only while driving. It doesn't everln work if I push the horn. The fuse looked good. Any recommendations? I have an aftermarket viper alarm that is working fine

I don't understand the reference to the fuse, as the horns are obviously getting power.

However, as the horns sound by being grounded via the horn push/clockspring there must be a poor ground wire somewhere, probably poor insulation where it runs close to bare metal.
