Horn stopped working?
Well, bound to happen eventually, I've hit the first problem w/ my Shinka. Went to hit the horn at some idiot who cut me off @ lunch today, and horn did not work. Pulled into lot at work, hit spot on steering wheel a bunch of times, and nothing, no horn sound. Worked fine when I first got the car about a month ago.
At first I though, fuse. But the horn does sound when I do the lock/unlock thing w/ my keyless remote, so the horn is getting power and able to produce sound. Not seeing any other electrical problems either.
Anything obvious I should check before calling the dealer for an appt? My guess is a bad switch or something.

dont f with it as you could have a bag go off in your face.
its either the switch in the steering wheel or something blocking the contact. does it feel like it depresses the correct amount?

No way was I gonna mess w/ the wheel, last thing I need is an airbag popping on me.
It does feel like it's depressing the right amount, but I did notice one other electrical oddity on the drive home from work. The fogs won't turn on by themselves, the headlights have to be on in order for the fogs to light up. Thought I could use them by themselves before w/o the headlights on?
Figured I would wind up calling for an appt, but thought I'd check here first, see if it was a common problem or not. Thanks for the help.
