Have you tried replacing the horn pad springs? I had the same thing,
though mine turned out to be loose fixing screws for the airbag asm. Make
sure that they are truely tight. AFAIR it should be a # 10 Torx and it's
a pain in the butt 'cuz you kind of have to be a contortionist to get
beihnd the wheel.
