Horn is honking with hard braking. - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

If I hit the brakes hard, the horn will honk. I tested it by tapping on the horn pad and it only takes a touch to make the horn go off so I think the force of the horn pad pushing when I brake hard is causing the problem.

Anyone else ever had this problem or have any suggestions on how to make the horn pad move out a little so it doesn't go off so easily?

TIA!

Quite a common occurrence. The bushings in the horn frame have weakened and need repairing. There are a few threads about that here and a really good one over on Rentech.com Horn Problem, Horn problem
