Expert: Kevin Date: 6/4/2008 Subject: 1999 Cirrus horn stuck
Question Hi,
My wife suffered this problem. When I press the horn area of the steering wheel in the right spot the horn stops. I figure her or one my 2 sons have hit it too hard. So, I'm trying to remove the portion of the steering wheel that is the horn. But, there is little room back there to get a good look at how to remove the horn. Can you give me a hint as to which screws need to be removed and what types of heads are on the screws that I need to remove (I think it's a star-type head)?
Many thanks,
kip
Answer U more then likely need a horn pad.
HORN CONTACT SWITCH
WARNING: BEFORE BEGINNING ANY AIRBAG SYSTEM REMOVAL OR INSTALLATION PROCEDURES, REMOVE AND ISOLATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE CABLE FROM THE VEHICLE BATTERY. THIS IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. FAILURE TO DO THIS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
REMOVAL
Disconnect and isolate battery negative cable in engine compartment.
Remove the screws that attach the Driver Airbag Module to the steering wheel.
Lift the module to gain access and disconnect the squib wire.
Place Driver Airbag Module on a clean level surface with pad facing upward.
If the contact area is bad, replace Driver Airbag Module. If the mounting bracket or bushings are bad, replace steering wheel.
INSTALLATION
For installation, reverse the above procedures. Use caution not to pinch wires.
