The horn "blow switches" are incorporated within the driver side air bag module in the steering wheel.


The switches are powered through the air bag sliding contact and ground through the steering column - Clock Spring


Unfortunately, each come as a unit I believe. Also, depending on the damage, your multi-function switch may have been affected? Just a thought.

I don't know if you can buy the cover or its part of the Air Bag Module. The parts department can assist with that.


I would suggest you remove everything down to the Multi-Function Switch.


This way you'll know what damage is done.


It may be as simple as a connection or perhaps the Clock Spring. On the other hand, perhaps the Air Bag Module.


The only way to know for certain is to dismantle it and see.
