I am fixing my problem now. You have to take off the bolts behind steering wheel holding on airbag assembly. Center of steering column pops off and wires coming out bottom into connector are horn wires. Dissconect wire connectors to horn and center airbag wires(Pops right out) Take out screws holding airbag to cover and remove horn switch and replace. Oh yeah. Disconnect battery before doing anything with airbag or it may go off. Let it sit for a couple of minutes before working to discharge backup power. That switch is a piece of cr*p.
