2016 International 4300
Ok, I’m about two unnecessary honks away from ripping my horn out of the steering wheel. I’m not sure if the plates are too close together in the switch or what, but something has got to change. To give you an idea of how sensitive it is think of it this way, if a fly landed on it it would go off. Or if I hit a bump it goes off... Any suggestions?
Why is the Horn switch on my International so sensitive?

A quick fix is look under hood and unplug the horn. To be legal you only need one horn working. Least I have never recieved a ticket for only one operable horn.

Mack’s are also very sensitive.

Give it some tough love so it is not so sensitive.

mine was so (near) silent, i never knew i was honking it

I found a solution for the Mack, Pry off the center piece and find an thin O ring that size, I will cushion it just enough where it still works but you will need to apply more pressure to it.

Wrong I've had several inspections they only care that one works.blairandgretchen Thanks this.

The plastic horn button just warps from the sun heat, gets misshapen. You can try to remove the horn button and pull the metal under side out more to give you more clearance, or just replace it. To remove it, you need to stick a long screwdriver into those 4 holes, 2 on each side to release a spring clip. Stick it in one hole at a time and push in, you should feel it spring back if you found it. Pull that corner of the horn button up as you push the spring tab in. It is very hard to find by feel sometimes, so don't be surprised if you end up breaking a tab or two on the horn button.
blairandgretchen and QUALITYTRUCK Thank this.
