I found my horn problem and it's not field repairable. The center section of the steering wheel - the cover cap and horn actuator - on my '88GL van has a broken spring retainer post and a missing spring. Consequently the metal parts inside are always in contact, and when the ignition switch is activated, the horn blows. This probably is a VW specific part available through the VW dealerships only - if it's even available. I would like to avoid dealership costs if I can. Has anyone got one of these beasties in black they care to sell?
