Sound System & Horn not operational?

[MikeD]

Hello all!

First, wanted to share my excitement of finally purchasing my dream car after 30 years! I purchased a 2013 GTS!

Second, the one I bought had a couple known issues if anyone could help?

-My horn is going off seemingly random, for approximately 10 seconds. However, when I press the horn buttons on the steering wheel the horn doesn't sound? I pulled the horn fuse until I could figure out the issue.
-My sound system turns on and the display functions, but there is no sound from the speakers. The fuse shows no signs of going bad?

Any help would be very much appreciated!

You need to check the hood and hatch switches. A tech with a wiTECH pod could be a big help. If you find that the switches are OK, you might want to think about the horn pad...particularly since it does not seem work when you push the button.

The horn going off randomly required the replacement of the horn pad on a friend's 2010. Note: horn pad replacement required replacing the airbag unit.

Thank you I will try that!

I have the horn issue fixed, but my sound system is still not working. I have changed both fuses and checked the amp. The radio functions fine, just no sound. Anyone had this issue or know how to fix it?

 

[Steve-Indy]

How did you fix the horn?

To be honest I’m not sure; I changed the fuse, but I suspect one of the hood latches wasn’t closed all the way. So far it hasn’t done it again.

PS I thought mine was fixed as well until all of a sudden the horn started going off by itself and I could not stop it, I highly recommend going to a Dodge Dealership they my even have a campaign on the problem
