Horn not working
I have a 2021 F350 Lariat. Just recently I noticed my horn was not chirping when I locked my doors. Yesterday, just out of curiosity, I tried to honk my horn. Nothing. Checked the fuse, it was good. Had my wife attempt to honk the horn while I was checking the fuse for power. Still nothing. I’m at a loss because everything else seems to be working fine. Could the clock spring be bad?

I have a 2019 F350 and had my horn go bad about a year after purchasing.
Located the horn circuit and checked voltage at the horn itself and was hot there so I knew the relay was ok and such and just needed the horn itself.
This was during Covid and the dealer was backed up for at least a month.
My dealer had them in stock and then spoke to the service guy.
He told me to reinstall it and bring the truck back in a month or so when they were availible and they would “troubleshoot” the issue and it would be covered under warrenty.
I then went to the parts dept. and paid $65 and put it in myself.
The service guy also said that if I installed the horn it wouldn’t be covered under warrenty in the future going forward.
So I guess I got that going for me.

I think your service advisor is full of stupid.
