Alero 6-cyl

  • 82,000 miles
I have a 2003 Oldsmobile Alero. The horn stopped working, checked fuse and that was fine. Took car to dealer that I bought it from. They informed me that the horn is attached to airbag module, to get horn to work again I would have to replace airbag module, approximate cost $1100. I do not have that kind of money for repair. I need a horn.....not a new airbag module! why replace a perfectly good airbag module to get the horn to work? definite design flaw. Costly one at that.
