I’ve heard similar stories from others and it required replacing the horn pad and airbag assembly. However, my experience is that mine ‘works’ but you need to press it pretty dang hard and it takes a second to start honking. I’ve heard others with the same condition. It’s very annoying as in an emergency, it’s more of less going to make noise to alert someone that I’ve already crashed. Too delayed to be useful.

Yes EV it’s definitely kinda tuff to get it to work sometimes! But then again that’s the least of my worries on a Viper

Had the same problem with my 2013. No matter how you tried – no horn. Had heard that it could be related to the airbag, so had local Dodge dealer check because I definitely wanted my airbag to work. Airbag checked out fine. In the meantime, I had been continually aggravated by accidentally hitting the radio buttons on the back of the steering wheel when I was turning it. Being old school, I always used the radio controls on the dash. Solution: simple rewiring by disconnecting the radio controls in the steering wheel and replacing with the horn wiring. Took my tech less than an hour. Now the middle (previously radio) steering wheel button on each side is now my horn activator (and you don’t accidentally hit that middle button, only the “rocker” on either side). Sorry, the explanation sounds complicated – it’s not. May not be for everyone, but works for me and saved several hundred bucks for a new airbag and spring assembly which would have to be replaced as a unit to correct the horn problem (per the Dodge dealer).

Nick very interesting idea. I do use those rocker switches however I might consider doing that to one of them, or do you have to do both?

Hey Bill, sorry for my delayed response about the horn issue. We only did the right side rocker, but I’m pretty sure you could do either, or even both. I don’t use the horn much, but try it once in a while, just in case. Still working fine. If any problem I can get my tech to help. Good luck, I think you’ll like it.
