Default Horn won't work

Before I drag my car to the dealer, could there be any possible reason that I could fix myself that is causing my horn to not work? I find it pretty pathetic that a one year old car of this caliber has a horn that doesn't work, especially since I almost needed it to get those dumb8$$ drivers from merging into me ont he highway. Thanks. :U

I'm not sure of the fix but getting at it is pretty easy, you just have to be extremely careful when removing the airbag.

I believe it's a 27Torx that will remove the 2 screws from the back of the airbag, then it's a matter of removing the 3 wires in the proper order :D :cheers:

I'm totally confused MG! I've pulled my front nose off 4 times (don't ask...well you can ask but be prepared for a long explanation) and have never had to pull the plug on the air bag (until today when I pulled off the right side front fender)

The horn is located bolted to the right front skid bar. I found mine loose and sitting on the closeout panel the 1st time I pulled the nose off.

It's all just screws that hold the front end on, just take off the right front fender close out panel and it's right there.
