My horn won't shut up!!

My horn is possessed. It keeps honking on its own. It happens at the worst times, when cars are going by, at intersections, what the hell? How do I shut it off. I have a 91 RS and my wheel is warped at the corners (on the airbag cover) is this causing it? How do I stop this annoying habit my car has?

I had the same problem,turned out to be the contacts in the steering wheel.
One evening,while driving behind a police car my horn suddenly went crazy,couldn't stop it!!
The cops gave me a stop sign,and a very mad police woman aked what my problem was,I explained that is was honking by it self!
I pulled all the wires out of the wheel,but it went on,then I removed the fuse and it stopped...
The cops let me go,but I bought another steering wheel right away,a smaller sports type,with new horn contacts,no more problems....!!!

my '88 did this. it would honk going over bumps. one time at the mall it wouldnt stop, so i ripped the horn cover off. the problem was the loose horn cover. i glued it back on and it didnt do it again. Doug

My wife laughs at me all the time and tells me to wave. I'm making a lot of new friends. Seriously, do I need a new airbag/horn cover?
