Help! Some guy was rolling a red light real badly right into traffic today and I went to honk the horn and nothing! I tried to press in the horn at different areas and angles and I get a little honking when pressing on the lower part but it's very faint. When I like the car with the remote it locks and the horn sounds just fine. It just doesn't work when I use the steering wheel.

Any ideas? Thanks!

May be a bad clock spring check this thread out:

If i had a more manly horn i would use it all the time But that sucks that when you need it the most it's not there.

Yeah the stock one get messed up by mud easily. If you have a volt meter check the leads while someone honks the horn. If you've got power to it, just go get a better one from a parts store.

Nope. Nothing even close.

This might be it...

Also, I sometimes get a weird horn honk twitch sometimes when I unlock the car. This would happen once every 2 months or so. Would this have something to do with the clock spring as well?

I think that honk happens when someone tries to open a door while the doors are locked.

Nothing like that happened. I was far away from the car. Happens when I hit the unlock bottom and it's an instant little horn sound and then it's fine.

I took it into the dealership today and they said that the 'horn pad' wasn't functioning properly and needed to be replaced.

How the hell does this happen on a vehicle with less than 30,000 miles on it? What's in store for the future?
