Hi all. New around here. I'll try to keep this short and sweet. I took my 2015 1500 to the dealership last week and had the WCM replaced as the truck was dead in the water. After i picked the truck up i noticed when i got home that the horn didn't work when locking the truck with the fob, i hit the panic button to see if that did anything...nothing. I called the dealership back and explained to the service manager what the issue was and he said to bring it back and they would have a look. I took it back this morning, came back and told me the PDC was bad and needed to be replaced. Everything else in the truck works, its literally just the horn that isn't working, but it worked just fine when i took it in last week. Kinda feels like i'm getting shafted here as i feel its VERY odd that all of a sudden the horn just stops working after they worked on the truck. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

**** breaks all the time. Changing a WCM would have nothing to do with the PDC going bad. Ones under the dash, the other is under the hood. Likely just a ****** coincidence.

Does the horn work when hitting the steering wheel? If it is only the fob it can be a setting changed on the EVIC system.

Could be a loose connection in the steering wheel behind the airbag, blown fuse, or like they said. Horns don't go bad often. I've had the dealer forget to reconnect the horn after the airbag recall.
