Semi-random horn honking?

[jough]

I am experiencing a weird problem. My horn is doing a very short honk somewhat randomly. It seems to happen under mid-effort braking with a right turn. It only does this very infrequently. Why?

My tire sensors are bad and I will need front brakes soon. Is it some sort of warning or could I be in a program mode?

EDIT: I think it is due to a very loose airbag module.

Clock spring maybe?

I hope not. Is that expensive and difficult to change?

I don't think it is the loose air bag module, because sometimes it does it while going straight on smooth roads.

The tabbed connections that relate to the airbag module will cause the horn to sound whenever they contact metal when NOT connected properly. I would bet $100 that something is disconnected under the airbag cover.

The dude that replaced my steering wheel switches did remove the air bag (whole center module), but that was months before this started. He had a special tool to release the latches.

Problem solved! There are 4 legs behind the airbag. The top 2 had been bent inward, causing the horn/airbag to be very loose. Once the legs were straightened, the horn/airbag was tight again and no more random honking. I must have laid on the horn pretty hard at some point.
