Default Horn button not working

I just got my 2008 JKU a few weeks ago. everything works fine but the horn. the horn will honk with panic button pressed, and chirp when you lock the doors. My cruise and turn signals work fine. Is this a clock spring issue?

I posted a picture since I know how everyone likes pictures

not sure, I never thought to check it. I got cut off last week and went use it, that is when I found out it didn't work.

Does your cruise control work? Airbag light on?

Your clockspring might be faulty.

Oh ok. I was going to say that they can't sale it to you with horn not working. It's a safety issue.

Everything works, but the horn. I ordered a clock spring to see if that is the culprit

Could be a bad membrane switch in the steering wheel.
Could be that portion of the clock spring is bad.

You are going to have to do some circuit checks to see where the power is interrupted.

OP.....if it is the white contact pieces inside the horn, pm me. I've got an extra set from where I put in cruise. I'm not sure the difference but the offer is there.

Try pushing on the very bottom of the button. And push hard.
