    I have 2012 Tacoma, all of a sudden my horn stopped working when my steering wheel is in the straight position, if I turn the wheel in either direction it works fine. Any ideas

    Spiral cable. Check and see if it’s covered under recall.

    If you are handy and all the other functions still work including SRS, it IS possible to repin the wire to a new slot on the spiral cable assembly to reclaim your horn back. I had the issue for years and I finally fixed it like that. The horn has been working for a solid 6 months now without a hiccup.

    I can get you more info if you need it if you want to go that route. Just let me know!
