Default 95 Horn Switches, Part Number or Work Around

I am unable to locate the 2 horn switches that go inside the steering wheel hub for my 95. Does anyone have a source or what is a work around to get the horn working again.

Thanks

There are a few on eBay and I also see some reproduction available, they I believe requires a little effort butnot much.

Search 17999094 for results. Big price swing!

I just installed the repo's on Ebay on my buddies 94. They work perfect. Seem built as good as GM did, which is to say, good for now, but junk in 10 years once the plastic gets brittle.

Install is very easy, just pull the air bag and install.

Any dangers with the air bag ? I plan to disconnect the battery overnight before I do the horn switches.

Holy smokes, the price just about blew me off my chair. I paid 8 or 10 dollars not to many years ago. 250$....should be ashamed of himself, he can go pound sand.

I have seen these kind of prices on some other parts also for the C4s. Many are taking advantage of the C4 community.

The repro. was like $60 or something. As long as you disconnect the battery, no real danger with the air bag with it disconnected for at LEAST 10 minutes to drain the capacitors.
