Horn problem
Like a lot of 97 Sunfire Owners, I had a problem with my headlight combination switch. Replacing it was a snap, but somewhere in the process of reassembling my airbag/sterring wheel cover, I disabled my horn.
I took it to the shop and they said my actual horn was fine. When I explained the problem to him, he said there might be a problem with my clockspring (sp?). In any event, since this is a problem I made and the steering wheel cover seems to be a pretty easy thing to get off/on, I was wondering if anyone has had the same problem, or can point me to a diagram of how the horn relay in your steering wheel works? This is the only thing I need to fix to get my car to pass Md. Inspection! Help me out!

Re: Horn problem
I'm having the same problem with my car. I could sit there and push the horn all day long and I would get no sound, yet my horn would just start honking out of the blue. I just bought a button and I hooked one wire to the horn itself, and the other to the positive terminal on the battery. I know this doesn't really help you, but it can get you to pass inspection. Actually, now that I think of it, there is a little plastic piece that your spring goes into, that might be broken.

Re: Horn problem
I had a similar problem in which I had to fix the horn on my 96 Sunfire 2.4L SE in order to pass a state inspection.
When I removed the steering wheel pad, I noticed two red wires coming together from opposite sides of the steering wheel pad. The other end of these wires were conjoined by a piece of plastic, a spring, and finally, a copper fitting to which the wire-ends are fused. This fitting is supposed to make contact with another piece of copper inside of a hole which is located top-left of the nut that holds on your steering wheel. I just had to play with that connection and I eventually got it to the point where the horn would honk when the pad was pushed. Not sure if it'll be a permanent fix, but at least it isolates the problem. Hope this helps.

Re: Horn problem
You broke the 'horn cancel cam'. It's a plastic piece that goes through the clockspring on GM vehicles so you can connect the red horn wire to it. On other cars, the horn wiring is part of the clockspring, but not on most GMs. The little ear breaks off if you are not careful and then nothing is connected to the horn contact in the steering wheel. The part is available at any GM dealer or through our parts department @ http://www.stolenandrecovered.com
I hope I've helped you
