So my horn would not stop blowing one day and I had to pull the fuse.
Dealer says the contacts are bad in the airbag.... A $1200 fix
Do I have any other options?
It is CRAZY that a $60,000 car has such stupid things go wrong 6 months after the warranty ends. My 99 Hyundai Sonata had the same problem and I bypassed the horn and installed a $2 button on the side of the steering wheel where I'm able to use it.
$1200 for a 50 cent relay going bad?

if you search, there are threads on how to remove the airbag. basically stick a screwdriver in the hole behind the steering wheel, and the airbag pops out. the contacts are exposed. maybe the horn wire grounded out.
