    So, if you hit the "panic" button and horn sounds properly, would we assume that the horns are operational but it's something between the steering wheel button and the relay?

      @chrisgraham2904 3 роки тому +2

      Similar problem on 2012 Navigator. Panic button and setting the security system honks the horns good and strong. The horn has a 15 amp fuse which is not blown. I've been told that there is no horn relay on this vehicle. Don't hear any other relays clicking when the horn is pushed. Apparently the relay's job is done by the computer that controls the security system rather than a relay. Have you figured yours out?

    so my horn, airbag and cruise control all stopped working all in about a month, could it be the clock spring?

    • @1AAuto
      @1AAuto  4 роки тому +2

      +Jasper Mize Thanks for checking us out! These can definitely be caused by the clock spring especially if they all stopped at the same time. The only sure-fire way to tell however is to get it diagnosed or replace the part and hope it is. 1AAuto.com

  • @alondraalisai
    @alondraalisai 5 років тому +12

    I fix my horn doing the clock spring change , first check the horn relay and check your horn direct from battery power to see if its working then change the clock spring and thats it you fix your horn switch (clock spring )you will need t25 torx special tool the one that have a hole in the center

    Have a 13 Ford Escape. 2.2L 4cyl SE.
    Had been driving earlier when I'd run out of gas. Performed a 'durability test' on the steering column as I cursed myself for not stopping at the last gas station. Horn immediately starts going off and wont stop. Had to roll into a school parking lot to pop hood and pull fuse. Trying to determine what under the steering wheel may have been jammed/dislodged in the active position forcing the horn to endlessly blare. Would like my horn to work again trying to determine what may need replacement/reset.

    So my 2019 Silverado just got broken into. Whoever it was picked the key hole and manage to get the driver side door to unlock. When he opened the door I’m guessing the alarm went off and scared him away. When I woke up my car was completely dead I had to give a jump start and a hour or 2 later I realize my horn wouldn’t work. I did what u said and heard clicking sound by fuse box. Could this be something else or do I need to take the grill off to look at the horn?
