Default Metal coil on steering broke causing honk went off, help!

I'm not sure what is going on, and hope you guys would help me to determine.

One day, while i was driving, i heard a metal broke at the steering when i made a turn and the metal dropped (it's in the steering cover, i could only hear it). Then, the honk went off and i believe that's the broken piece that touches the honk wire causing the honk goes off and so i have to keep turning the steering to stop the honk and honk is on and off while i drive.

Does anyone had the same problem before? if so, could u tell me what's the name/part number of the metal? where can I get this part replaced? I will appreciate any helps.

Unhook your negative battery cable for three minutes.
turn the steering wheel so you can see the bottom side of it. Remove the plastic cover with a small screwdriver release the yellow connector from it's holder slide the wide part of the connector back to unhook it. If there is a black connector in there unhook it also.
Remove the two T30 torx bits on either side of the steering wheel and remove the airbag from the steering wheel. You will be able to see what broke to make your honk beep er.. honk horn, ohh whatever...
