Suggestion · Original poster
If you decide to disconnect the airbag with the key in the ignition you'll trigger an open circuit in the car and it'll put the airbag light on.

Coverage and how to read this overview
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.

I was having the horn honk while driving over cattle guards or by slightly touching the inside of the steering wheel with the palm of my hand.
I filled the bushings and I"m waiting for the silicon to dry so I can re install.
Will update with pics later. Hopefully this is going to work.
Here they are:
Before you do anything,
disconnect the battery
. If you decide to disconnect the airbag with the key in the ignition you'll trigger an open circuit in the car and it'll put the airbag light on. I don't know if it'll happen with the battery disconnected but I didn't want to mess with it and left the airbag in.....
You need:
Black silicon
#30 torx screwdriver (or drive which needs to be a long drive since the screws are recessed).
17mm socket for the bolts that hold the frame to the steering wheel.
Photo 1: The silicon.
Photo 2: This is what it looks like when you use the #30torx screw driver/drive.
Photo 3: The circles show the screws you undo from behind the steering wheel, to get the airbag off. (circle right has the screw sitting on top of the place it goes)
Photo 4: Shows a close up of the bushing and also the little "button" on the steering wheel that connects to the airbag frame. You can see a little copper divot on the airbag frame. That's where the "honk" part comes from.
And more photos.
I cut the smallest tip off of the silicon so that I could get it into the cavities in the bushing.
I also left the bag on since I didn't see the need to take it out.
My grommets were not deteriorated but they were pretty soft.
So I filled in the three gaps that are on the bushings to stiffen up the bushing.
And that last ones.
I let the silicon sit for about an hour then reassembled everything. (I used blue thread locker on the screws again). After I stuck a couple of 1/8th to 1/4 inch item between the airbag and the steering wheel in the hopes that it would cure a little farther away than standard so that I wouldn't accidentally honk even if I was still doing what I was doing.
The last photo is of lazy *** Albert. Smart, but lazy.
