Jim,
The end of the horn/light rod is part of the horn circuit. The very bottom of the rod, presses onto a little brass "button" inside the switch. There may be a little bend to the bottom of your rod, or the brass button is a little off, so what happens is that when you turn your lights on, the position of the horn rod contacts changes a little bit and grounds which allows the horn to go on. Check the alignment of everything and see if the bottom of the horn rod looks like it has a bend in it when you turn it around.
