Clunking Horn

[shyr33]

Gday guys i think i have found my first fault on my 1994 line, either the airbag or horn or both have come loose and rotate inside the steering wheel when i turn, last night it got to the point where as soon as i turn a corner the horn will go of, so i had to disconnect it this morning to get piece of mind, anyway my question is can i take the front steering wheel cover of without the airbag going of? ive been told i came as long as i disconnect the battery is this ok?

hey mate.

I had exactly the same thing happen. The are 2 weird bolts holding everything on so You will need some security bits to get the airbag off and pull everything apart. i found my horn part had actually broken and was just dangling round inside the wheel. it wasnt really fixable.

Just disconnect that battery. Good luck!

Their is a small weight about 10x3cm that sits underneath the horn at the top of the wheel which is held on by 2 screws. The bracket can snap and the weight becomes loose and moves around when you turn the steering wheel (and can even engage the horn when at certain angles).

You need to remove the airbag and just pull out the loose weight.

Edit: It is a very very simple job to fix the problem, but very hard to find a mechanic with the tools that is willing to risk removing the airbag from the steering wheel.
