Horn Honks when i turn the wheel

New to this site... so bear with me. I have a 2015 mini cooper s. When i turn the wheel, mostly to the left, the horn starts honking by itself. Thought i'd just pull the fuse inside the glove box but couldn't locate the fuse. Is there another fuse box inside the engine?

Help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Always turn right. Problem solved <evil grin>

Why do you want to pull the fuse? Wouldn't you rather solve the problem?

I suggest that you remove the steering wheel and check the horn connection. It could be that a simple bushing is worn out or a contact is out of line.

Always turn right was my brothers response to the issue. i mean i could get it fixed but pulling the horn fuse seems like the easier and cheaper fix of the options

Don't you need the horn to warn pedestrians and cars of a possible accident? Seems like a very big safety aid to give up.
