Horn works sometimes. Wondering how to remove the cover where the horn switch is in the steering wheel.
Thanks

I do not recommend you attempt this without a working knowledge of how to handle air bags. They are explosives and can seriously hurt you.

When the horn doesn't blow, have someone press the horn switch while you listen to the horn relay in the under hood fuse block. Does the relay click?

I figured out that it is the connection behind the steering wheel. Did not want to deal with trying it myself per the warnings about the air bags or bring it to a mechanic(im broke right now). I hooked up a new horn on its own push button switch mounted on the dashboard. Will car pass inspection this way.
Thanks
