Default Horn sounding off

Probably a simple DIY fix for this (I hope), regarding the car horn.

The horn suddenly sounds off when driving on an uneven, rough surface, but especially when under braking, becoming more than a nuisance and needs to be fixed.

Anyone familiar with this or had a similar experience?

Thanks,

TJ

Easy fix indeed. Well, watching my indie do it anyway.

No need to turn off the battery (as per the youtube vid), just unscrew the two screws either side of the steering wheel, unclip the yellow horn connector, then undo 4 further bolts to release the plate. Didn't fiddle with bits of rubber etc, used a new plate for a 993 my indie had in stock. 40 mins start to finish.
