    I've got a 2012 trd 4x4 sport and about a year ago my horn stopped working. I tried to take it to Toyota and would charge 150 just to look at it and diagnose it. Does anyone have any help or tips for me

    The fuse is good, and relay is good aswell. Horns are still in good condition and work when hooked up to battery charger

    Reserected from the dead.
    Any problem with cruise control or the blinkers or an air bag light? might be a ribbon cable(clock spring) issue.

    I'm not for sure, but some models had a recall on the ribbon cable.

    No, everything else works. I took it to Toyota and my year wasn't part of the recall
