| Description of the problem | I was cut off by another driver in rush hour traffic and the horn failed to operate when pressed. After this incident, i discovered that the horn does not work after the vehicle is driven every few miles! The vehicle was in the shop for hours of diagnosis, and finally it was discovered by the technician that the vehicle has a bad "sir coil". The "sir coil" is on special order. |
