Removing my steering wheel
I would like to install some airhorns onto my truck that are hooked to the factory horn. First I need to get my factory horn working properly. I beleive that the problem is a faulty button behind the steering wheel. I don't know how to access it. Do I need a special tool? Is there a screw or bolt that I am just not seeing? Please help. My truck is a 1996 Tacoma 2.7 liter automatic w/airbag in steering wheel.

You'll want to pick up a manual from your local auto supply shop - Haynes manuals are pretty good. I don't think it's advisable to mess with the airbag though... Good luck with that.

Just for the record - are you *confident* the fault lies in the horn button (within the 'combination switch' assembly)?
Have you ruled out a wiring fault, a faulty horn relay, and a faulty horn unit?
Seems to me those would be far more likely candidates for the source of the problem... Just checking....

I am trying to avoid having to pay for the dealer or any extra manuals. I bought a Chiltons for it and it got ruined by mud. I am fairly confident that it is the switch behind the airbag on the steering wheel, because the horn will sound only if I press really hard on it. It is acting as if the switch is bent. If anyone has any further info please let me know. Thanks

I found what I am looking for.
Autozone.com's do it yourself section had an extensive breakdown of what I needed. Neat site, good info. Thanks for your help anyway.
