When I was about to be side swiped by another vehicle from the adjacent line, I heavily leaned on the horn and it stuck and continued blowing. I finally stopped it from blowing by hitting it a couple of times. Thinking I had fix the problem, while sitting in the house it started blowing again. After doing this a couple more times I realize I had a problem. I had to remove the fuse to get it to stop.

Horn has a very small "sweet spot" and on several occasions we have been unable to use it in an emergency.

By design the horn can only be activated by pressing the two small horn symbols, the rest of the steering space is inactive. Nlm
