Sounded weak and squeaky for a month or so, then all of a sudden stopped working. I don't know where to even look to try and fix it! Is it a fuse or do I need a new horn?
It's either your horn is going bad or your clock spring.
I would say a new horn
Put battery voltage directly to it
& see if it works
If it made any sound-- how could it be a fuse ?
If it was a fuse, nothing would happen & a new
fuse wouldn't do anything, until you found & fixed
the reason a fuse failed

Todd, If your Air Bag Light is on and your cruise control does not work. Contact me before doing the test procedure below!
Todd, sense you have the steering wheel cover off, we need to check to see if it will honk when you take the ground wire for the horn and ground it anywhere to a good ground, preferably the ground post from the battery. We know this is always a perfect ground! The wire for the horn will be a single wire all by itself. If it doesn't Honk see below.
Next: Next we want to ground the horn wire coming out of the other side of the steering wheel, this is much harder but will tell us what we need to know.
Let me know what you find!

SOURCE: constant horn blowing
Very possibly the horn relay. This is located in the left junction block ( fuse panel) on the left side of dash. Open driver door and you will see a panel cover on the end of dash. On the cover it should list the position of the relay which I believe is on the right of fuse panel. If you try the horn and it sticks on again, try tapping the relay, if stops then that is the problem.

I have the same problem and it's not the rely or fuse... that would be too easy.
2000 Dodge Caravan ABS Light
Question:
2000 Dodge Caravan. The other day my light for my air bag came on,
but I noticed when it came on my cruise control stopped working and my
horn doesn't work when I push on it. However the horn does work when you
set off the alarm. Is it a fuse that's gone bad and if so which one is
it.
Thanks for all your help.Christy
Answer:
There is a device inside the steering wheel called a Clockspring.
Basically it looks like the main spring of a watch. It's purpose is to
insure perfect electrical contact with the airbag module in the steering
wheel. Wiring for the horn and cruise control also go through the
Clockspring. When the Clockspring goes bad you lose horn, cruise control
and the airbag light comes on.
On 10/5/2004 a Motor Vehicle Recall, number 04V480000 was issued on
this vehicle for this problem. From the recall bulletin:
Summary:
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:
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.
Remedy:
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.
So at this point you should call your Dodge Dealer and make an
appointment to have the recall performed on your vehicle.
