    my horn will not sound when pushing on the steering wheel. I've checked all fuses and relays, all good there. The horn will sound when I push the panic button on the fob.

    I figured I would ask here befor digging under the air bag.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    It's possible the copper contact points inside the steering wheel that complete the horn circuit are corroded and not transmitting current, ir your clock spring wire for the horn is broken.

    Heads up, you may want to look for a second horn. I once had a car that had a horn for the alarm which worked and a completely separate horn for the steering wheel which didn’t function. I discovered a separate fuse and a short in a wire. I’m not sure if this is the case with the taco, but maybe it can help you avoid buying a new airbag/horn unit you don’t need like I did in my other car.
