99 996 braking

Strange thing started happening the other day...wondering if anyone has had this issue...not sure if its a grounding issue other something else.

While braking hard the horn will sound or going over bumps with the brakes applied the horn beeps...but only while applying the brakes fairly hard....
thanks for any input.

Your IMS bearing is about to fail, you should sell your car NOW....

Actually this is a very common problem. Do a search on Rennlist or Renntech and you will see this comes up once a month. The airbag is rather heavy and over the years the bushings on the airbag retaining frame wear out and weaken, causing the horn on braking and turning. There is a fix for it or replace the frame 993-347-088-01

If you are going to the track, pull the horn fuse. I've had the horn blasting every braking zone before. The other drivers think you are mad 'cause they won't let you by, and corner workers think you are retarded.
