    So the horn recently blew the fuse. I wasnt even trying to use it to my knowledge. Replaced fuse. Seemed fine.

    Last night it started blowing itself, intermittently at rapid pace, could hear relay clattering. Then i pushed on the button and caused it to stay stuck.

    Pulled fuse.

    Someone please tell me how to remove the button head/airbag face and how to fix this thing before i just install a spam can doorbell button and hack stuff up

    Or at a minimum, what wire do i need to hack into? Lol

    Thanks for anything


    Edit
    Oh!
    Now its jolly grand. Works great.

    It was raining when it went haywire.... no known water on the steering wheel though
    Might need some dielectric grease somewhere?

    Dielectric grease does wonders for electrical connections. It prevents corrosion on the contacts and keeps moisture from interfering with (or causing) a contact. It only takes a tiny bit of moisture to wreak havoc and it can't hurt to apply some.

    Ok. I now understand how to remove the module. Of course it says do not disassemble for any reason. Lol. Any idea where the horn contacts are hidden within this bomb?
