How to fix Horn Button in Steering Wheel for free
I got the day off today due to rain and decided it was time to fix my horn button in my steering wheel. Ever since i got this car in 2006, i have been driving around with a rattling noise inside the steering wheel, and occasionally a piece of plastic would just fall out. But the worst thing about it was i could never honk the horn when i wanted to. So here's what i did:
Tools/Materials required:
•Philips head screwdriver
•Scissors
•6" (125mm) pot plant. (yes, you read that right)
Step 1:
Remove 1 screw at the back of steering wheel.
Step 2:
Firmly but carefully pull out horn assembly, in a kind of downward motion.
Step 3:
Pull out horn cable
Step 4:
Peel off horn cover from frame
Step 5:
Cut out the base of the pot plant, trimming it until it fits nicely. You could probably use thick cardboard instead
Step 6:
Place on frame, and reassemble.

Only if you hit the 4 grounding points, I just used some cardboard for mine, worked wonders.

The horn button completely covers it.
