Horn problem
Realized for a while, that sometimes I press my horn it doesn't make a sound after a cold start.
Wonder do I have to take the airbag out of the steering wheel to grease the connections behind it? Does it have a have a connector behind that my need to put in the grease like the dielectric grease? Does anyone have this issue?

If you google it, you will see quite a few threads or even videos about it. Typically the problem is with one of the two or both horns under the hood, not with the steering wheel switch.
I don't use mine often, but every time I have used it it has sounded a bit "homosexual"... so I also wonder if maybe one of the horns is not out... Some people report it all goes back to normal after a few seconds continuous honking (happy neighbours).

Corrosion of the connectors on the horns is a possibility. It can be enough to keep the horns from sounding at first but after a while the current can push through the corrosion. Clean them with contact cleaner, dielectric grease should prevent it from reoccurring.

Where are the horns and how accessible are they…?
