The remote key lock/horn alarm works to make the horn honk ...but when you push on the steering wheel center horn honking pad the horn will not work. Every gas auto service station tells me to take to the dealer....no one wants to deal with the airbag going off. Anyone know what a dealer charges?
Dealers charge approximately $75-90/hr. labor. The horn pad repair, labor-wise, can easily run 2 hrs labor plus parts. Unfortunately, the horn buttons in the pad are flimsy and break easily. This could result in more repairs later. An alternative fix, if you are not fussy about appearances, is to nount an external horn button on the dash within reach of the driver. This is legal for inspection puirposes in MOST states (check local laws). You can cut into the horn wire where it comes out of the steering column, or you can ****** it at the horn relay, whichever is more accessible. The horn button can be obtained from any auto oarts store, and will be a more permanent repair. Also, no airbag worries. While working with the wiring harness, avoid any YELLOW wires. These are normally airbag wiring.
