| Horn button when the accessory socket is in use or not in use,the horn continues to blow when the button is released. therefore the fuse to the horn must be disconnected at all times. i had it put on a diagnostic machine and in order to have this fixed it will cost $1300 because the problem has to do with the air bag. if it were the relay switch it would have been $24. this is not from what i think is something that consumers must pay for. i live in the state of virginia where it is required to have vehicle safety inspection done every year and the first thing that's checked is the horn. how can something that needs to be operable that's out of the normal wear and tear not be a recall? this has been going on since 2007 and i still have not gotten a response from anyone on this matter. every year i've been skating by crossing my fingers and hope that the horn will not sound off. here recently i can't put the fuse in at all without the horn continually sounding off. it sound like someone is just sitting in my car holding their hand down on the horn... this has been going on since 2007 primarily when it's cold outside to now 2010. there has been numerous times in this time frame where i could have used the horn to prevent someone from almost hitting me. *tr | |||

| During cold weather (approximately 20 degrees c and below) the horn starts blowing and won't turn off unless the battery is disconnected or the car interior has warmed up. the only way i have to prevent the horn from coming on is to keep the horn/air/bag assembly warm. i wrap an electric blanket around the steering wheel. *jb | |||
