JONSworld42 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Well, I hit my horn a little harder than I should have and long story short the horn would not shut off so I took out the fuse and everythings been fine since then. But now I dont have a horn or hazard lights, but one thing I do have is a 5 month expiered inspection sticker! I'm thinking about bringing da sub to the dealership and pay what I must to get it fixed, but if Its something simple I wouldn't mind trying! -JON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman18 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 What is the car? If you can remove the top portion of the steering wheel, there is a thin piece of metal in there that is now making contact all the time. If you can straighten things out, you may be able to fix it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 Lucky Texan Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 definitely check into disabling the airbag and or disconnecting the battery before digging in there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JONSworld42 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Alright, thanks guys! would you know how im supposed to go about getting the top off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Look on the back side of the wheel at ~3 and 9 o'clock, there will be two screw holes. Remove the screws and the center section will pull straight out. Disconnect the wire plugs and you can set it off to the side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
