chrysler sebring emblem on steering wheel pokes horn switch
The main problem why the horn goes off by itself because the Chrysler Sebring emblem on the steering wheel is poking the horn switch below it and causes dent. The Chrysler Sebring emblem on the steering wheel is attached to the center of the steering wheel with pointed/sharp studs. Over time, when the driver presses the center of the steering wheel to activate the horn, the driver is pressing down on the Chrysler Sebring emblem but at the same time the pointed stud of the Chrysler Sebring emblem is making a dent (the size of a pepper corn) on the horn switch. The horn switch is composed of a rectangle looking plastic (approx 2"x5") with a semi-liquid conductor inside this rectangular plastic.
So the dented plastic part of the horn switch is what creates a complete circuit and activates the horn by itself. I was able to get to the horn switch on the steering wheel and massage the dented part of the horn switch back to almost flat surface. I filed the Chrysler Sebring emblem studs a little bit so it would not be pointy/sharp anymore.
