My 1999 Boxster has recently developed a very sensitive horn...When breaking hard, or even while slowing down on rough roads, the horn will honk. Is anyone aware of a way to adjust the sensitivity of the horn?
yeah, i'm interested in some ideas too... under extreme braking the horn pretty much honks along with the abs pulsating. its only an issue when i'm on a track/ax but i'm curious to know whats going on.
You guys both have the 4-spoke steering wheel, not the M-436 option - 3-spoke Sport Steering Wheel right..??
The issue is that the rubber bushings on the AirBag Retaining Frame (PN#993.347.088.01) have torn and don't allow the AirBag to float as designed. This causes the contacts for the Horn to close and sound the Horn. It especially occurs under braking as the AirBag's momentum causes it to move toward the contacts since it's no longer being held off by the bushings.
There is a DIY on fixing it, but personally, the part is like $40 and I would just replace it. Easy fix.
Thanks Lil' Bastard...
I was going to pull the air bag off this morning and try and do a temporary fix until I could order the necessary part from my local stealership.
I searched the DIY, but couldn't find any relevant info...Do you have a link?
