Description of the problem | Ford focus s 2013 horn was not working starting in april 2015. Car was purchase new in july 2013. In mid april horn was working again, but only for about 3 days. Horn was inoperative entire month of april and began working again in mid-may. About 3 weeks later, starting in june, horn was again inoperative. Checked relay and fuse and both worked - relay "clicked" using horn button on steering wheel and when key fob locked doors. Determined horn was faulty and relay/fuse not the problem - called dealer for appointment. Dealer confirmed horn was inoperative and had to order a horn which required that i come back a second time to have it replaced. Dealer & service personnel were very cooperative and i told them this problem is common for focus and read many posts on the internet confirming this issue. |
