SERVICE INFORMATION

If the horn on a 1995 -1998 200SX or a 1995 - 1999 Sentra models activates randomly: 1) when the doors are slammed or 2) when making turns while driving, the cause may be the horn springs losing their position between the horn plates. This can cause the spring end to slip between the spring insulator and the insulator retaining clip. Once this occurs any sudden movement may cause the horn circuit to close, activating the horn. Use the Service Procedure below to replace the horn springs and spring insulators with the ones from the Parts Information section of this bulletin to resolve the incident.
