Pull the fuse to stop it while you check the wiring. Based on the limited amount of info you posted I assume you have little mechanical/electrical experience. Do not touch the steering wheel as the air bag is there and you will have a very bad day if it deploys while you try to access the horn button. Take it to an independent mechanic to repair ---

The horn function is controlled by the Totally Integrated Power Module. > **[A Wide Range of Electrical Gremlins Can Be Traced to Chrysler's TIPM Problem](http://www.chryslerproblems.com/tipm/)** > > 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. Tester ---

Find the horn relay in the TIPM under the hood and swap it with another relay. There should be a few identical ones there. For example, the wiper motor relay appears to be the same. ---

This is a 2013 Dodge Avenger. The car does not have a relay for the horn. I was told that I would have to replace the TIPM. This part is very expensive. ---

Are you sure? RockAuto lists a relay. ---

The horn wiring circuit for 2013 Avenger shows no relay. Only the TIPM to the horns. Tester ---

In that case, a hard reset of the TIPM helped solve some electrical issues in my Ram. It’s worth a try and costs nothing. [https://www.verticalvisions.com/other-solutions.html](https://www.verticalvisions.com/other-solutions.html) ---
