Anyone done the # 31 O ring horn fix ?
 
My horn is honking a the wrong time. Has anyone done this o-ring fix ? Anything I should be aware of ? I watched the vid on You tube seems straight forward.

Xpit77,

I completed the horn fix with #31 O-rings from my local Home Depot in March 2017 (had been driving for about a year without a working horn & had to get it fixed to pass my safety inspection).

I completed the fix in my driveway in about 30 minutes. The hardest part was finding the O-rings. Someone had put a bunch of another size O-rings in front of the #31s on the shelf. I was about to drive 20 miles to the next Home Depot when a sales clerk asked if I was having trouble finding what I wanted:-)

No worries.

I didn't have any luck with the o-rings so cut pieces of foam to fit. Has been working just fine ever sense. Foam came from pipe insulation. .

Thanks. Depot here didn`t have them so I ordered them from a local jobber.

I fixed the issue with two pieces of silicone vacuum hose jammed in upper/ lower grooves on the steering wheel, that adds spring load against the center airbag piece.
