Horn Assembly problems of the 2005 Dodge Ram 2500

The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired per NHTSA campaign numbers: 15v313000 (air bags) and 05v462000 (power train). While exiting the vehicle, the horn began to sound and the warning indicators began to flicker independently. The failure was persistent. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (b&b Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram 125 grandview avenue, honesdale, PA 18431), but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The contact also stated that the failure was not present prior to the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified and stated that the failure was being investigated. The failure mileage was approximately 375,321.

The truck's horn begins sounding for no apparent reason. It is totally unexpected and randomly occurs. The truck can be in park, forward or reverse. This is a very annoying problem. From what I've been reading it seems the manufacturer tried to idiot proof their vehicle. Is there some kind of recall or fix for this condition? thanks, wearing ear plugs in ohio.

Issue began just after the warranty period was over, if I tilted my steering wheel upward the horn honked repeatedly and headlamps flashed. Then a week later, intermittently smell "electrical burn" and the a/c blower motor would stop, then start etc etc. I removed the covers to the steering column and the 10 GA. Blue and red wires are burned along with the plug / pigtail. Ignition switch, pigtail and wires were extremely hot and melting. Fire is eminent. Ign. Switch is available but I will be forced to buy the full wiring harness! I have not done the repair due to the financial setback from a bad design. Dodge had this exact condition in 2000 on 1994-1996 models, see NHTSA campaign: 00v135000. This is the same conditions, high electrical current from blower motor routed thru ignition switch instead of a relay when the blower is on high for an extended period of time. No fire yet but at this rate there will bes soon.

I believe NHTSA recall 05v46200 has problems. The dealership said that the horn honk only honks when your foot is off the brake and your door is open and you are in reverse. The horn honks at no particular time if found. Dealership could not get it to honk when they did all three requirements when I complained to them. Also the recall they sent out did not say the horn would honk. My and other vehicles are emergency vehicles and the horn honking at unknown times is not acceptable and on swat operations the trucks can not be used for fear of the horn going off. The dealership said that they can not take this recall off and they said the recall is mandatory by NHTSA and we are stuck with the recall. My problem 1. The recall should have said that the horn will now start honking once the recall was done. 2. The recall should work and the horn not go off at any time. 3. That Dodge should not say this is a NHTSA required recall and mandatory and the recall can not be taken off if that is true.
