So my car won't start sometimes but if I beat on the horn area of the steering wheel it will start. I feel like there is a security wire behind there or something that's causing that because sometimes when it won't start the security light will blink on my dash but like I said if I wiggle the horn area or whatever it will start also sometimes if I wiggle the horn area it won't turn over at all but then if I wiggle it some more or hit it some more then it'll turn over. please help.

Yep, this happens when the immobilizer receiver unit goes bad, here is how to replace it. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.
