Yes, very easily. Take it back to the people who put the mulitpurpose switch in and tell them they've messed the horn up in the process. They'll know what to do.

There is one solution to fix and 2001 se, which is the same car i have btw. Burn it, yup you heard me right, burn the piece of crap, then push it off a high cliff. If you know of anyone lookin at buying an 01, DOnt let them unless you hate them. I made the best decision in my life buying extended warenty on my car. It cost me about $1700, its a $0 deductable, and ive had over $3500 in extended warenty work done to it. NEVER BUY THAT CAR. and its not that im bad to it, i treat it supurbly, wash it all the time and routine maintanance, change the oil often, do all the scedual tuneups the dealrship recomends, and i drive it nice. Sry bout that just had to rant a bit.

Rad_Panda, Tell us how you really feel. haha. Sorry you're having so much trouble. Good thing you got the warranty.
Troy C, There is a horn contact that is spring loaded that is sticking out the back of the multi function switch. That needs to be pushed in and the MF switch will slip right in place. If the mechanic missed this little tidbit he just put the switch in and when he pushed it down the contact ring bent. Take it back and have them do it right. If the ring is not too badly bent they should be able to reinstall the MF switch and all will be OK. If that ring broke, big job. Good luck.
