No Horn!! No power to buttons on the Steering Wheel!!!??

broken wire in the spiral cable? maybe its not pluged in behind the steering covers

 

Yeah, sounds like a fault in the spiral cable (clock spring). Is the SRS light on (Airbag)? If it is, then I'd definitely bet on it!

 

So i finally made an account but can't post yet. Really need some help as this is time sensitive. Hopefully someone will see this and respond-
Okay I've read a few threads about upgrading the stock prius horn. I think the wiring to my horn is incorrect.
The stock prius horn comes with this connector (cant post the link b/c im new but the black and yellow standard connector)
The single black wire that connects to the back of the connector was disconnected and parts of the plastic clip were chipped. I wasn't getting any sound when hitting the steering wheel.
I didn't want to buy a new connector for $70 so i bought these aftermarket horns:

Instead of using both horns and the relay plug- i simply took the low tone horn and twisted the prius' black copper wire to one of the male spade connectors supplied in the pack above^ and used a twist on wire connector/cap. I grounded out the horn to the hood latch.
Now- The horn works well- but only between 3-6 "beeps"- then it goes dead. But if I detach and then reattach the spade connectors to the horn it will again work between 3-6 "beeps".

Any ideas? Is there a short in the prius' black wire? Doesn't sound like a blown fuse to me...
