I have a 2011 Chrysler minivan. When I parked the horn went off for about a minute until I was able to shut it off playing with the panick button. Since then, the horn does not work and all other functions seem ok and no airbag lights or anything. I made an appointment to bringit back to the dealer and they prefaced the conversation with " If it's a Squirrel nest or Rats eating the wire, they are not responsible". I laughed knowing thats not the case and I have full warranty. I just don't want them pulling a fast one on me. I had the fuses checked by my mechanic and said they were ok, but suggested I bring it back to dealer which I am. Do you suppose it could be a fuse not seen, a relay, or the clockspring?

SOURCE: horn,airbag light,cruise control

ON CERTAIN MINIVANS, THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG MAY BECOME DISABLED DUE TO A FAILURE OF THE CLOCKSPRING, WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE HUB OF THE STEERING WHEEL. Consequence Summary: THIS CONDITION WILL MANIFEST ITSELF THROUGH ILLUMINATION OF THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP, AND COULD EVENTUALLY RESULT IN A DRIVER'S AIR BAG OPEN CIRCUIT, IF THE PART IS NOT REPLACED IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. Corrective Summary: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY ON ALL COVERED VEHICLES WITH 70,000 MILES OR LESS. FOR THOSE VEHICLES WITH MORE THAN 70,000 MILES, DAIMLERCHRYSLER WILL OFFER AN EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY UNDER WHICH IT WILL REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING AT NO CHARGE IF IT FAILS. DAIMLERCHRYSLER WILL ALSO REIMBURSE OWNERS WHO HAVE PAID TO HAVE THE CLOCKSPRING REPLACED ON THEIR VEHICLES. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 12, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403. A malfunctioning clockspring can also effect your cruise control,radio, wipers, and your horn relay. This can also happen one at a time til none of these are working.The solotion is to get the clockspring replaced . I DO NOT suggest you doing this on your own!

SOURCE: No voltage too Glow Plugs.

These are spark plugs you are talking about right? Glow plugs are in diesels. If it is no voltage to spark plugs, do a test on your plug wires.

Sounds like a bad clockspring

SOURCE: 95 Chrysler LeBaron Electrical Problem

you need to look at wiring diagram and find point where power top horn and power seat have common feed, seems likely that its one wire, power or ground, that has an intermittent connection. standard practice is to cut a new piece of wire, gotta go buy some, same length or little longer, same gauge as piece that is suspect then strip insulation from wire that you think might be bad and overlay new piece. don't cut the old wire till you know it is bad.

SOURCE: On my 1997 Chrysler Town & Country , my Horn

This is definitely an issue with your clockspring. The clockspring is a device in the steering column that provides electrical contacts for horn, cruise and airbag. The good news for you is this part is covered under a Chrysler warrantee / recall.

Horn sticking and sounding on 2005 ford f150

The button or wire is shorted in the column. Horn relays turn on with a ground signal from the button, so the wire only has to come loose or the wire get chaffed to cause the horn to blow.

1996 Chrysler Cirrus horn wouldn't stop beeping too!!!

was it hot outside-heat could deform the steering wheel horn pad and make the horn go off,remove the horn pad and airbag unit(take fuse out for airbag system wait a few mins)then put the fuse that you removed back in place and see if the horn goes off again.

1999 F350 horn blows all on its own...

I think your horn relay is making contact from behind your horn buttons on your steering wheel. Usually as time creeps up the insulation that is placed on the positive lead for the horn gets worn out from constant horn action. If it is worn down the horn is touching a ground and completing the circuit and thus making the horn sound. I would start with that first before getting more technical. Let me know. Gabe

Horn Stuck

If it happens, you can just disconnect the fuse for the horn, or relay. It could be the switch underneat the airbag or clockspring.
