2001 996tt horn only works w/o key in

HI,

I'm a new 996tt owner and was pointed to this site by a buddy. I just got my 2001 996tt home and noticed that the horn only works when the key is not in the ignition. Just curious if anyone has seen something like this.

thanks,
Mike

I have the same issue. I think it's a faulty horn relay.

Glad you found the site Mike. There is a wealth of knowledge posted in here and some pretty smart and helpful people to answer questions. That's a weird issue with the horn. Good luck getting that solved

Here's a nice link to a diagram with the relay bank that holds the problem I found. Good old relay #10 wasn't switching. Found it for $17 on ebay

You are probably better off going with one of the following options:
1. Take your old relay to the auto parts store and cross it to an AC/Delco part
2. Buy it here for $11
