hi everyone,

the horn on my ram isn't working. i've tested it just connecting wires to the harness on the horn and touching the battery and it works. i'm going to try the fuse, but on the panel, there's no specific horn fuse. does anyone know under what cluster it's found in. the guy at advance said it could be under the cigarette lighter or the radio. what do you guys think?

does it have an airbag? usually when the horn quits working and the airbag light is on it is an issue with the clock spring needing replaced.

More than likely the clockspring is bad.

Spent many years at the Dodge dealer. Saw it many times...

Just my .02

most likely a clock spring as previous mentioned. You could always run a horn button and mount it on your dash so you'd still have a functional horn. Or replace the clock spring to fix it right.
