My 95 RMW horn has always been very sensitive, you can barely touch it and it blows. Well, about a month ago I blew the horn and it has been blowing ever since. I had to pull the fuse. It was a very hot day and I thought that when it cooled off it would be okay. No such luck. Now it is time for state inspection and I am faced with either buying a replacement airbag/horn button combo or putting in an external button. Has anyone run into this? Maybe there is a simple fix. Does anyone have a medium blue airbag/horn button combo for sale? Let me know.

Regards

Maybe the relay went? I've never heard of the actual horn/airbag doing that.

I had the same problem. I replaced the whole assembly with the airbag. If you are handy, you can just replace the airbag cover which contains the horn button. It's a membrane switch and sometimes it just goes bad.

Does it work like a Caprice? I'm not sure about a RMW. If so, look at the thread about replacing the switchs in the Caprice horn. It works better than GM's does.

I had the same thing happen on my 95. I ended up replacing the bag. I was gonna take it apart and see what I can do about the contacts, but I don't like the idea of dismantling a bomb Shocked

I just looked at my old bag, and I see there are 2 connectors for the horn. I didn't think to try this at the time, but couldn't you just unplug the one that is stuck on?

They are different. The switches are inside the bag itself on the RMW, the caprice has 2 separate buttons mounted in the wheel itself that the airbag pushes against (much better design).

Well, I am going to have to install a separate horn button. Does anyone know the color of the horn wire in the connector on the bottom of the steering column? confused
