Horn button doesn't work...horn works when locking doors with fob
DPS doesn't want to give me an inspection sticker because the horn won't work. I've changed out the fuses to no avail. It honks with the key fob when locking. What else can I look for without getting my face blasted off by the airbag?? Thanks! HBC

You've pretty much isolated it to the horn button circuit, which includes the clockspring. Some '07s had a special warranty on the clockspring--not sure what year yours is. I had mine changed at 147K miles to fix the horn, no charge. Check the button with an ohmmeter to eliminate it, but usually it is the clockspring.

If your jeep is an 07 the clock spring is covered. Mine is an 08 and I had the same problem. I just replaced the clock spring. The part was under 200 dollars. It isn't that hard to replace, in fact the hardest part is getting the horn off. I am sure there is a good write up on this site. If you disconnect the battery am wait a few minutes the airbag won't explode in your face.

Wow! Talk about a coincidence...
