If it's near the steering box, it grounds the steering box to the body. It should 
run from one of the bolts on top of the steering box to the bolt at the top of 
the clamp for the front axle beam.

They may be related. Does the horn beep if you connect that ground wire 
whith the ignition on? If so, then there is a short somewhere in the steering 
column..

I assume (???) that your horn does not work with the horn button.
