Ram 1500 - horn blose continuously
From : rscotto
Q: based on the fact that the horn stopped blowing momentarily when i hit the horn pad my first guess is the horn pad in the airbag assy is bad....anyone else had this problem your clockspring broke. you can replace just this assembly its a coil of wire that looks like an actual clockspring - hence the name. it connects the horn buttons and the cruise control switches to the steering column. you should know what youre doing to do this job yourself - youll be working around the airbag and setting that off accidentally will ruin your day. .

i didnt think about the clock spring....but i have heard about them breaking..... also id do a little troubleshooting to make sure it really was the clockspring. for instance does your cruise control work if so it may indeed just be the horn switch in which case you just need to replace the trim cover/horn switch assembly. you can remove this from the steering wheel and test the continuity of the switch with a meter. lastly if that all checks out suspect a sticking horn relay and replace it. .

tom- i didnt think about the clock spring....but i have heard about them breaking..... i am aware of the airbags and what needs to be done to disarm them and work around them......though i appreaciate the heads-up........ how long a job are we looking at is the clock spring usually stocked at the dealer or something that has to be ordered any idea as to what the cost of the clock spring is thanks- rich based on the fact that the horn stopped blowing momentarily when i hit the horn pad my first guess is the horn pad in the airbag assy is bad....anyone else had this problem your clockspring broke. you can replace just this assembly its a coil of wire that looks like an actual clockspring - hence the name. it connects the horn buttons and the cruise control switches to the steering column. you should know what youre doing to do this job yourself - youll be working around the airbag and setting that off accidentally will ruin your day. .
