I'm trying to fix a problem my mechanic doesn't want to deal with on my '94 Protege LX. Horn doesn't work, replaced the horn, still nothing, seems like there's something wrong in the column. I always assume it's a wire inside the column, especially in a case like this where the car has 225,000 miles on it. Does anybody have any ideas about how this can be fixed? I'd rather not put a button on the dash if I can help it, but that will be my last resort if necessary. How accessible is the wire that goes through the column? How easy would it be to replace? I need this to pass state safety inspection, this is on a car from Vegas, so it is a rare car in NY - an early Protege without rust!
By the way, it isn't that my mechanic can't do the work, he just knows I wouldn't like the bill he'd have to charge me for the work. In the past he's just given me my inspection sticker anyway, but because my teenage son who drives the car has gotten pulled over a couple times for vehicle violations (exhaust was broken and too loud, headlight out, Vegas window tint too dark, etc etc) we'd rather it be fully legal.
Thanks for any ideas about keeping this fun little car safe and legal
