   The vehicle horns worked intermittently during the first year, but don't work at all now. When the alarm operates, the lights will flash, but there is no sound from the horns. Based on feedback from owners' forums, there is an issue with the horn relay surface-mounted to the underhood fuse panel. This requires replacement of the fuse panel. Not having an operational horn is a safety issue for other motorists and me, as well as wildlife.

   My Elantra has 25000 miles and has had issues with an inoperative horn. It appears that the horn pad switch/clockspring has an intermittent contact issue. It has progressed to the point where the horn is inoperative now. My vehicle is under factory warranty, so I will need to return the vehicle to the dealership to correct this problem. My goal is to leave a record of the failure of this critical safety device.
