So recently i noticed my horn not working when i pressed it at the steering wheel. I thought ok i know where it is behind the bumper. But the strange thing is that it works when i press to lock on the key fob. So horn does work, just not at the steering wheel. Now this is a safety issue because if at a parking lot where i need to press it to get someone reversing i can avoid collision. Today i checked fuses and even removed both top & bottom cover from steering wheel to check connections. Anybody know what may be causing this?

If I remember correctly I think I had a similiar issue on my Acura many years ago and it may have been the clock spring? But I also remember replacing the horn at one point as well, the old one was rusty and it was cheap to replace it with an aftermarket one

I pulled a clock spring off an 06' at the salvage yard today but its not compatible with my 03'. 06' has a green plug with two wires silver&blue? Instead of the black plug with 2 green wires that connect to a ground. Going to a diff yard tomm and hope their 05' still has a working clock spring
