sounds like the ring is grounded permanently somewhere so the circuit is closed even when you don't apply the horn, causing the horn to beep continuously.

Check that there are a pair of cork blocks in between the ring and the mounting plate. I had the same prob and had to make my own for it to work as it should. There should be insulation around the three mounting screw posts too. I just cut heat shrink tube and kept layering them on for the correct thickness.
