Default Super Sensitive Horn

Year: 1996

The left horn button is SUPER sensitive. It goes off and stays on when I lightly flick with my finger. The right side button is fine. I have to repeatedly hit the button to make it turn off. Suggestions on how to fix?

New set of horn buttons just under $60 when I did mine on ebay. Or pull the air bag and block off that side and use the other. But they get old and brittle best to replace.

How do I block the airbag so it doesn't go off?

Pull the airbag fuse. Disconnect the battery. Remove the Torx bolts from the back side of the wheel. The airbag will lift right out when you disconnect its yellow safety harness. Lay it face down after you remove it.
This diagram might help you see what is in there:
