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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

1999 / 996 Cabriolet with 112,000 miles My horn goes off on bumpy roads in the warm to hot weather without touching the horn. Pulling on the steering wheel to exit is another scenario that will set it off, again warm to hot weather. One time last summer the horn just went off with no one in the car (hot day, 95-100 deg). I'm about to pull off the air bag on the steering wheel and look around. Have the springs lost their push over the years? Is there a part number available for a replacement spring? Warm weather is approaching and I want to fix the issue. Thanks Bob!

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just a follow up, on U-Tube is an easy fix for this common problem. You need a long torx allen style (T30?), 19 mm socket and (8) "O" rings (#31) (cost- $3). Disconnect the battery and let sit for about an hour (de-activate air bag). Use the torx tool (enter from behind the steering wheel) to remove horn / air bag. Use the 19mm to remove (4) bolts to remove bracket. In the four corners are rubber grommets that the bolts slide through. Install "O" rings front and back on each corner and re-install bracket then air bag. Re-connect battery. Video is on U-tube. Thanks Bob
