Default problem with autometer a\f gauge

ok heres the deal i hooked up my gauges and they all light up fine. I dont have the signal wire on the a/f gauge hooked up to anything but whenever i press the horn the gauge goes crazy and all the lights light up. I thought it might be feeding back through the ground so i changed the ground and it still does it.So any ideas would be great help. Also shouldnt my oil pressure gauge come up to zero when i turn the key on? Now it just stays down below zero. thanks for the help
