Leading evidence: 'chaffed wire or' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'chaffed wire or' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace entire frame' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

it would have been much easier to replace the whole frame with new bushings already installed as it took me half a day to figure out the bushings need to be secured to the frame holes like a trans mount.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

My '99 has the part and when replaced, it fixed the problem the OP described.
Have an issue on my �99 where the horn will activate going over bumps. Got to the point where I had to pull the fuse. Wondering if a new Clockspring will solve the issue. Thoughts?
Sounds like classic worn rubber parts in the retaining frame. Part # 993.347.088.01, about $70.00. I read somewhere that you can buy the bushings separately too.
I dont think we have that part on our car. Im pretty sure thats a non-air bag assembly. Unless thats the part under the airbag on a 4 spoke? Your issue is a chaffed wire or under the airbag. Pull the air bag and inspect. Its only 2 t30(i think) screws. Here is a pic from just doing a hub and quick disco wheel. Its what u would see with the wheel removed.
My horn started to do the same thing, 4 spoke steering wheel. I replaced the entire frame. Of course it came with new rubber bushings. Got a little over twenty one years with the old frame & bushings. Simple enough job and you get to sit in your seat while doing it!
Here is some help

Finally got around to installing new bushings on the frame. I finally have a working horn again!
it would have been much easier to replace the whole frame with new bushings already installed as it took me half a day to figure out the bushings need to be secured to the frame holes like a trans mount. Then it took another hour or so to figure how to secure the bushings to the frame.
Thanks guys for ruling out the Clockspring and pointing me to Zims for new frame bushings.
