corroded horn contacts - how to fix?
Hi...</P>
I'm not a Volvo owner but I am a skilled shadetree mechanic who isposting for a friend of mine who knows nothing about cars. She has a 1997 Volvo 850 with a faulty horn - the horn sounds constantly, so she removed the fuse.</P>
thestealership told her the contacts in the steering wheel were corroded and she would have to replace the wheel - at a price of $450.</P>
yeah. right. like she's gonna fork over $450 for a pair of corroded brass contacts.</P>
i told her i'd ask around and see if there was any way to fix this.</P>
i haven't taken the wheel apart because i wanted to ask around first and see if anyone knew of an easy and inexpensive way to fix this problem?</P>
</P>

My horn was not working. Brougt it to Volvo. They said that the contacts were bad (apparently quite common)on the steering wheel, and that the wheel needed replacing...also quoted at about $450. </P>
I bought a used steering wheel for $100. I had another garage change it for $80. As the airbag needs to be removed, it is really a job for someone with experience). </P>

Bought the wheel (mailorder)from:</P>
1-888-volvo 13</P>
</P>
Good luck!</P>
