This problem exists for many people. The problem is a defective design in the horn switch. The biggest monetary problem is that the horn switch is part of the airbag assembly. This thing is costly. I was just quoted over 600 bucks for OEM replacement. But the replacement is the same defective design.

There is no recommended fix for this problem. Have your dealer look up NHTSA ID 634582 Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) No 0254002 Horn Assy part 341000 dated March 01,2002. They are required to give you this information for free. If you go through the NHTSA for it, it will cost you to get the information.

Good luck. I am going to get a generic horn replacement switch and mount it the steering wheel using the pre-existing wiring for the defective switch. This will require the disassembly of the airbag assembly to get to the wiring. I do not recomend this for anyone that does not know what they are doing. I am a professional mechanic. Messing with the airbag can be dangerous and lead to either an airbag that does not work properly or it could explode in your face. Either way it would be a BAD thing.

take off the wheel. crack axel nut and pull out carter pin. remove the rotor and brake pads. bang on the axle until it comes out fom the wheel bearing.. most Mitsubishi as in the 99 and up years seem to heat up while driving and then becoming stuck into the wheel bearing causing the axle not to come out. make sure you grease up the whole axle before putting back in
