Hello, i have a 2011 tacoma trd 2wd. My horn doesnt work from the steering wheel. When i push the alarm, the horn goes off so the actual horn is good. Heard it could be a connection in the steering wheel, but don;t know hoe to fix it. Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Check all connections is step one. Try the ol tried and true jiggle method to try and locate the general area of the trouble.

Clock spring is actually called the spiral cable. I agree with you. It is most likely the spiral cable.
