Horn going off whilst driving

[SimonMG5]

On my last drive of about 20mins the horn just randomly went 3 or 4 times whislt driving, hands no where near the horn - anyone had this?

Short answer: No!

Which version of the MG5 do you have, pre-facelift or facelift?

 

[Black estate]

Me neither

facelift

I think someone else had a similar issue to do with the horn or buttons on the steering wheel.

Their problem was the cable inside the steering wheel.

It is quite complex because that cable has to be able to expand and contract as you turn the wheel full lock either way.

If the issue keeps happening you might need to get something replaced behind the wheel.

Certainly sounds like a fault so one to refer to your dealer although that may be problematic if the symptoms are not repeatable.

Second this, i was driving down a country road and the bumps were enough for me to be pressing the remote button in my pocket and sounding the horn. I leave the keys in the cup holder now.
