Horn Going Off When Steering

[Habler]

In hope that this happened to someone else before and they can direct me straight to the problem i thought i would post up on here before going any further with trying to figure it out myself.

the problem: A few days ago i parked my car in a tight one way street. I came back half an hour later and switched the car on. As i went to do a 3 point turn in the tight little street my horn started going off!!! everytime i turned my steering wheel past 45 degrees the horn would blast.

I pulled the horn plugs out and drove it home. I have not had time to look at it yet and can only make guesses as why it is doing it. If this has happened to anyone out there or if someone can assume what the problem would be pretty well it would be appreciated if you would post it up.

Car: R33 - airbag equiped steering wheel (which makes me not want to rush into anything to do with the steering wheel)

Cheers

hey dude,

sounds like ur horn wires are earthing out on ur steering wheel. Have had the same problem in a commodore, being horn going off when steering. Not exactly sure how to take apart a skyline steering wheel, but if u disconnect ur battery, (negative first, then positive) for like 15 mins with key turn 'on', this should drain out any charge left in solenoids etc, so ur air bag won't 'pop' while ur mucking around. When u recon u've fixed it, make sure u plug ur bag in correctly, key off, connect ur battery (positive first then negative) and see how you go. Hope this helps.
