Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Some time ago when I used the horn, it stayed on for a few moment longer than pressed then on a couple of occasions I had to physically pull the horn element of the steering wheel out a little (not remove) to stop it.

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

No, not a late night chat line but a problem with my 996 [ ] Some time ago when I used the horn, it stayed on for a few moment longer than pressed then on a couple of occasions I had to physically pull the horn element of the steering wheel out a little (not remove) to stop it. That still happens occasionally and also when braking hard. Embarrassing!!! I think its probably the contacts / spring element within the steering wheel itself rather than a contact elsewhere as I can normally stop the problem by pulling the front of the steering wheel. Before I start to dismantle the steering wheel and have a look, has anyone else had a similar problem and advice / suggesting please. I have an airbag (probably standard) and tiptronic controls on the steering wheel. Thanks, Rob

POST 2Original post

It's a common problem on the 4-spoke steering wheels. The rubber bushes in the airbag retaining frame break up. You have to buy the complete retaining frame (£40) as Porsche don't sell the bushes separately. However, there is some excellent info on a cheap fix on RennTech at: http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=1728

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Richard, Once again, thanks for the information. I will look at the thread and let you know the outcome. Funny enough, I have never noticed a thread on this horn problem in the past..... Maybe the subject wasn't as, erm, eye catching as mine! Cheers, Rob

POST 4Original post

Love it that the horn goes off when you brake, classic. Must bring some comedy moments WeeJohnyB

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Comedy .... downright embarassing...... Was at Dunsfold Park for the Mini Top Gear event today that was organised by Nanthan Little and, just after winning 6 bottles of red in a raffle, the horn goes off permanently and I wander over in front of about 100 mini owners and proceed to pull my steering wheel until it stops....nice!
