Fixed My Horn Problem



Had a problem where on side of the horn would stick and not shut off (see previous threads). I took the airbag out and decided to take it apart. There are two screws that hold on the cover. After removing the cover, there is an oval shaped plate made up of two thin copper plates. When you touch this, it makes a complete circuit and triggers the horn.

I simply cut out the section of copper plate that was sticking on and put it back together. Works great and I still have a horn on the other side!

Yeah, I drove for a week without a horn and decided I had to do something. Don't think that I didn't stay out of the way when I plugged the airbag back in. Ha Ha
