My 2001 Chrysler PT CRUISER horn does not work all the time. When the radio display is on, the horn works, when the radio display goes out, the horn will not honk. There has been 3 times when we needed it to work and it would not. The local Chrysler dealer changed out the radio and said they fixed a horn wire, but 2 weeks later it was broken again.
