1992 Honda Accord body problems

Filed Dec 14, 2014 · Body, Electrical · WA

Horn is designed poorly which has caused several close calls because I was unable to honk my horn at a crucial time. Instead of being able to press the center of the steering wheel to honk the horn, there are two small buttons at the 9 and 3 position that appear to be positioned to press with your thumb- if your hands are at the 9 & 3 position. In an emergent situation, the first inclination is to hit the middle of the steering wheel to activate the horn, not to search for either of the two little horn buttons. In the latest incident, I had the right of way on a left turn arrow, a car going straight went through the red light and nearly broadsided me. I was pounding all over the steering wheel because I couldn't find the horn.
