How long have you owned the vehicle and how long has the horn been dead? Dunno where you are but apparently regular safety inspections aren’t required. It’s still a good idea to have a working horn. Say, if someone can’t see you and starts backing toward your car, what are you going to do, roll down the window and yell, “Hey!”? It could be a bad switch, the “clockspring” electrical conductor could be bad, or something else. A good independent mechanic can diagnose and fix the problem.

There’s five components to the horn circuit.

The horn switch, clock spring, TIPM, and the two horns.

> If you've heard of a TIPM, chances are you own a vehicle from Fiat-Chrysler (FCA). Think of it like a command center for all the electrical functions of your car, and in FCA's case a very, very disfunctional one.
