Caprice Wagon V8-350 5.7L (1994)
Horn Switch: All Technical Service Bulletins
Horn - Honks Without Driver Activation
FILE IN SECTION: 3 - Steering/Suspension
BULLETIN NO.: 53-32-05
DATE: June, 1995
SUBJECT:
Horn May Honk Without Driver Activation (Replace Steering Wheel and SIR Module Assembly)
MODELS:
1994-95 Chevrolet Caprice
CONDITION
The horn may honk without driver activation, usually when the tilt lever is released quickly, letting the wheel slam to the "Up" position (sometimes
called "tilt and toot"). The horn may also honk when closing a door or when turning a corner.
CAUSE
The design of the switch is not strong enough to prevent the contacts from closing when a sharp bump occurs.
A new membrane design switch was introduced in production approximately May 15, 1995 for base steering wheels and June 15, 1995 for leather
steering wheels.
CORRECTION
Replace both the steering wheel and the SIR module assembly (air bag) following the directions in Section 3F of the Service Manual. Be sure to disable
the SIR system before removing any parts, and follow all Cautions and Notices.
