Horn blares spontaneously; my neighbors think I've gone mental. 850 1995

A few days ago while driving merrily along, smoke started to pour from my steering column, smelling of burning plastic. The smoke stopped after I turned off the ignition, but since then, my horn has a mind of its own. It goes off spontaneously, but stops when I hit the center of the steering wheel. Previous posts seem to suggest I have a burned-out switch and/or broken clockspring.

Is this something I can replace safely myself, or will the airbag behead me?

Any guesses on what a dealer or mechanic would charge for the job?
