Horn stopped working
Anyone have issues with their horn stop working? This is the 3rd time my horn has stopped working. First time they replaced the fuse. The second time (2 weeks later) they replaced both of the horn assemblies. And now 3 months later, my horn stopped working again!
This car is so f**king frustrating with all the glitches we've had!! Not just in vehicle electronics, but important safety features like the horn and backup cameras have all failed. I love this car, but it's also a piece of shit! Never had so many problems with any vehicle!

Null and proud of it
My TL would do stupid shit too!!!
I got so frustrated with it I traded it on a Kia Optima, now, I can't wait to get another TL...
That being said, your wiering may be bad sonewhere, causing fuses blow, again and again...
The dumb thing about these cars, is that they never seem to have a place to start looking when trying to fix them, or so it seems...

In the second week I had the car, the horn stopped working. They went through several repairs before getting it fixed once and for all. Well, I say that...it's been a few months since the repair and all is well. Ultimately, they had to replace something that was blowing the fuses that feed the horn assembly. I can send you the part when I get back to my car, if you want. I believe the service receipt is in the glove. Let me know and hope your horn gets sorted.

I just found this thread an my 19 RDX is right now in the shop for a horn issue. They said the fuse was fine and then advise they may need to take the bumper off. Did anyone who had horn problems have to get the bumper removed?

You'll see they did extensive work on my RDX to fix the horn problem. I posted a picture of the parts used, etc above. As for the bumper coming off, I can't remember. When they were going to keep the car for a few days I had to get some things out of it. So, I went back into the mechanic's area and I DO remember my car was pretty disassembled. I want to say that I THINK I remember the bumper being off but I am not sure. In any case, it was extensive.
Good luck getting your car fixed quickly!

I guess you're the kind of guy that would replace a fuse in an old style circuit breaker panel with a piece of metal pipe...bigger is better right? If the fuse is 10A...then I strongly recommend against anything bigger as that could, eventually, cause you far greater problems but not my car!
