996 horn problem

My 996 horn is blowing when I depress the brake pedal or sometimes when I pull down on the steering wheel. Any suggestions what could be causing it, and how to remedy this?

Its the airbag/horn frame bushings that are worn out.

You need to either replace the frame or do one of the DIY fixes which include filling the rubber with silicone or replacing them with grommets.
