Have a 2014. The clips on the sides were really hard to access from the sides. I found it easier to first release the bottom clip so there is a gap on the front and then release the side clips through the gap.

Thank you! You just saved me a ton of time and money!

Exactly the issue i had as well! Thank you!

Very helpful! Regards from Baltimore.

If the panic button makes the horn sound but it won't work by pressing the steering wheel is it definitely the clockspring? Is there something else in the steering wheel it could be?

[tpbimxl]

Great video man, just what I had going on. But what to do about the bad clockspring??

[triumphmanful]

wow, I miss the days of two wires to the horn button. All this fancy stuff really frosts my punkins ! I hate new car technology ! Why can't they keep things simple ? I am trying to run a simple wire and horn button set up on my wifes 2013 Outback. All this type of repair by my dealer is going to cost a pretty penny ! Got to get the horn to work for an upcoming inspection. Not a happy face here ! :(

My Impreza doesn’t beep at all no matter what angle the steering wheel is. Does that mean it’s not the clock spring??

[brandonmcginnis]

Mine did this today. It works in every direction but straight 😅

Hello. I have a '99 Civic whose horn only works sometimes... I hear the relay's clicking noises when I press the buttons on the steering wheel. I bought another horn at a junkyard, thinking it was the horn, but it turned out not to be, as both work hooked up to a battery... What could it be? Help would be appreciated from anyone...

Thank for sharing!!
In my Forester 2015 the horn AND many functions as cruise control, radio control and also functions related to the satelital switches were out (off) at a same time.
Does it suggest a total clock coil failure or a missconnected connector?

I'm not a mechanic, but thanks for sharing. My horn doesn't work even if I turn it slowly?

[pattycould]

Thanks for the information. My 2016 Forester has this very problem: panic horn works, and horn works once in awhile when wheel is turned. The dealer wants $195 to diagnose and cannot tell how much it will cost to repair. How much do you think it should cost at the dealership to fix?

I am having a heck of a time on getting the airbag out i can't seem to find the spring clip thru the holes

[atantar]

Should i take out the airbag fuse and unplug the negative on the battery while doing any of this?

[Mike-juvl]

Nice job. So was it the fuse or a wire or what in the end?

[tristanalbertluczon]

Hello! Replaced old horn with a new one. I wired it up correctly, tried testing horn from steering wheel and it isn't working. I disconnected the wire connecting to the factory horn power line and touched it to the positive terminal on the blasting full power. Because of this I know the wiring is good, horn is good, relay is good, fuse is good (mechanic tested fuse). We also did a bypass relay switch - the horn is working. The problem exists somewhere between my stock horn line and the steering wheel, for some reason power isn't getting through that line to the horns. Also tried pressing my panic button, NO HORN only blinking lights. Any idea what the possible causes of failure could be if it's isolated to this area? It stresses me out.😓 Thank you very much in advance.

Consulta, se enciende la luz del airbag en el tablero cuando falla la bocina?

[meestadeuce]

I had the recall notification for the airbag to be fixed. I haven't really driven the car since then however im driving it more now and the horn is working intermittently. I did the steering wheel portion of the diagnosis and it seems to be only not work when the wheel is centered. Could the airbag replacement have been the culprit?

[ceddy]

Big Rob, how do you access the wiring diagram for vehicles? Is there a website that you use to gain access???
