Getting the Wheeling Fever

I don't understand the search function on this site - it seems very random. Anyway, i know this is a know problem but i am getting a plasticy scraping noise behind the steering wheel. Can anyone tell me what that is or point me to a thread on how to fix this? Thanks!

i found one unique maybe rare cause for the squeak that i had to deal with. the horn button brass piece was rubbing at certain points while turning the wheel. It was simple fix. Take the steering wheel off and with very fine sandpaper smooth out imperfections and it solved this problem in 5 minutes or so. may not be your problem but something to check.
