if you peal the plastic cover off the front of the horn you can open that up, my guess is that the spring that forces the horn button out is slack or there are wires touching in there.

You may have to check and see if one of the wires have come loose, causing it to short.

there is no glue just peel it off...it will come off with ease...to put it back on ...make sure the mazda logo is level lol and push it back on...you'll have to enure a few seconds of your horn blasting to get it back on but its as easy as that

it just folds under a metal ring
take your fingers around the edge and pull it back.

To clarify, the entire horn button comes off in 1 piece, don't mess with the logo. Bad mojo.
