ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a horn switch which is encapsulated in an airbag module cover by use of a reinforcing fabric attached to the horn switch. The encapsulation results in a firm retention of the horn switch when the airbag inflates, enhances actuation and feel when the horn switch is pressed by the driver, and simplifies manufacturing of the airbag module cover and horn switch assembly.
