Rotary Switch - Red & Black Horn Wire replacement?

[Amy R]

The red and black wires in the steering wheel have shorted, and the insulation has totally melted!

It's not possible to separate them and insulate them from each other, because the insulation's gone all the way back to down the column.

I think that the whole rotary switch needs to be replaced. Is this an easy job?

Some pics incase anyone else is searching for info on a horn problem...

Update for anyone else with the same problem.

Had it done by a local garage...

£120 inc Vat for the part - clock spring was how they referred to it.
Hours labour for fitting.

However... once installed the ESP warning light came on, and the garage had to take the car to Renault to get them to calibrate the steering angle. Renault wouldn't tell the garage how to do it, so not sure if it was alignment, or some software adjustment.
That was another £50.

All done now... think'll get the wheel apart and put some protection on my new wires this weekend!
