Withy Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 I was driving back from the shops this morning and saw a mate parked up so beeped the horn and waved. To my horror, the horn stuck in and continued to blare for the next 1/2 mile or so along a fairly busy street. As if people driving convertible Porsche's in winter need any help in looking like a tw*t! Embarrassment aside, anyone heard of this before?.. I got home and had a quick look and it does seem to just be the steering wheel centre switch sticking in, so have applied some silicon lubricant (the automotive kind, before you ask!) and tested again but it is still sticky and needs persuaded to the off position. It's a Sport Design steering wheel on a late 2012 car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iborguk Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Obviously make sure the car battery is disconnected and once that's done leave the car a while (15 mins) before going near the airbag 👍 Other google hits also suggest removing the label on the back of the horn switch as that can cause it to stick.

red rocket Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 @T911UKreported similar issue on 987 a couple of days back. Turned out to be a short circuit behind the steering wheel iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
