Hello all,
I bought my ’05 a few months back, and after a long rebuild process, it’s finally become my daily driver. I was cruising along a busy suburban road the other day and a couple of dogs started doing the little “I’m about to run out into traffic” thing, so I went to lay on the horn to scare them away from the busy 6 lane road. Turns out my horn doesn’t work. I’ve also noticed that the steering wheel controls don’t work at all. I’m curious if anyone else has run into a similar issue. With the steering wheel controls I had assumed that maybe a previous owner had an aftermarket CD player and forgot to hook them back up when he swapped it back to OEM, but now that I know the horn’s not working I suspect it’s something else. I have NOT had the recalls done for the airbags, but have been meaning to do that. Cruise control works fine, and my emergency flashers (on the steering column) also work.
Probably not related, but the master window controls only sporadically work with the auto-down feature on the driver’s side too. I have a new master control module to install this weekend to see if that fixes that problem, but I’m guessing it’s cut wires in the door jamb boot, which I’ll get to when I start on the audio install.
Has anyone run into this horn/steering wheel controls issue before?
Thanks!
