Description of the problem	The horn has stopped working on the vehicle. Does not matter what position the steering wheel is in or if i am driving or stationary. I am at 72,000 miles. I had the issue checked by a mechanic - fuses were changed and checked, but the problem persists. I did an internet search which revealed other drivers with the same problem. I saw a recall in australia which: vibration over an extended period could result in a metal plate within the steering column wearing away the wiring insulation. The short circuit could disable control of the wipers, headlights, horn, driver's airbag and features actuated through the multi-function steering wheel, such as cruise control, audio system and mobile phone connectivity. The issue could also short out the fuse for the engine management system's ecu shutting off the engine.
