Airbag bracket. The bushing are wearing out. Two options: Try to use some hose or tubing to reinforce the bushing... or spend $60 buck at Suncoast Porsche for a new bracket.

I wedged a piece of thin black cardboard in the gap at the top of the wheel....that was 2 years ago...horn still works when I want it to but no longer lets me know every time I run over a dime...

I recently bought a 2000 Boxster. I noticed the horn didn't work. So I checked fuse B3 and it was blown. When I replaced the fuse the horn was as if someone was holding it on, without the steering wheel being touched, until the fuse blew again. Obviously there is a horn switch in the steering wheel. Will the rubber bushing behind the bracket cause this?

But most folks have no idea how much current a horn uses when that giant buzzer is running....it is substantial ....many amps

When the air bag frame makes contact with the ground in the steering wheel this is what makes the horn blow. So yes the rubber bushing is part of the horn switch, it is what holds the air bag frame from grounding out.

I thought the IMS held it in place
