Horn Button Not Returning

I found that the horn button on the steering wheel is sticky (PO had removed the fuse, of course) - doesn't fully return and causes the horn to go off at random and stay on unless you think to pull it back out. How do you remove the airbag/horn button assembly? Is the horn spring prone to failure? There are two screws on the back of the steering wheel that I was going to try to pull off the horn and investigate. Thoughts anyone?

Its a pretty common problem. There are bushings that cause the horn to return once depressed. These bushings can wear out and cause what you're describing. Some people have rigged up some home made fixes but you can buy the "button" new and its fairly cheap.
