replaced clock spring, horn honks when turning right...
as stated, it was honking all the time, even just driving straight down the road randomly. was driving me nuts, i have yet to see if the cruise control works yet, but the one thing it still does is honk on a sharp right turn, what is causing this? metal plate for horn or possibly ground? i have read somewhere that the wires can get twisted causing this issue as well? any help here would be appreciated, thanks

I believe we have already been through this.
Have you taken off the airbag to inspect the condition of the four plastic inserts? Seems like you have as it appears you've somewhat recently replaced the clockspring? Is that correct?

when it was apart, they weren't looked at. forgot about them i guess. part of the reason for replacing was no cruise control either, not that i care about that very much, air bag lite was going on and off. it's off now.
Nissan doesn't sell the plastic piece that should fix the horn problem. The best bet is a used or junk yard steering wheel
Nissan also discontinued the steering wheel itself. The junk yard steering wheel will fix this problem. The horns honking from the continuity of the metal contact that the air bag and the contact plates are on the steering wheel touching at all times making contact.
