Thumbs down Issues with Horn

Ive done a little searching and cant find an answer... My horn doesnt work. It works when you lock the car, but not if you press the button... Took the wheel apart and all the wires look good, so im not sure what else could cause it...
On another note, I have The radio controls on the steering wheel and they dont work either. I pulled the radio, and checked all the wiring/connections, and everything seems to be fine. All of the other buttons on the steering wheel work (i.e. cruise etc.) just not the radio and horn.

Im not so concerned about the radio, but ive never had sooooo many people pull out in front of me until I bought the durango.

Any input would be awesome!! Thanks

I agree it's the clock spring. When mine went out it started with the horn, later on the airbag and then eventually the cruise.

Radio controls do fail. The switches are not very good. Over time, the channel change switch will start to control volume and vice verses. Not good! Also stops at certain angles of the wheel.

The horn could be unplugged in the wheel too.

If you have other weird stuff going on, clock spring +4.

hey guys thanks for the replies! Now that you mention it, i noticed occasionally the cruise doesnt want to turn on and i have to try a few times and eventually it works. Where could i pick up a clock spring and how much they usually cost? Thanks again!
