If only the horn function is dead, I would recommend using a scanner to see what the Integrated power module is seeing as far as “horn request” signal. If that is showing up when you press the horn switch, that module becomes the better suspect. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what happens. helpful?

Why are my horn and steering wheel controls not working?
After about a week of no horn and no steering wheel controls, my airbag fault light also went on. I bit the bullet and went to a local service center (VolksWerks in Falls Church, VA).

What should I do if my Subaru horn is not working?
Check the easy stuff first. Each horn has its own fuse. Pull them, check them for continuity across each blade, replace if necessary, then reinsert them. Then do the same with the horn relay. Fast check is to pull another relay of the same colour and number, and insert that in the horn relay’s position on the fuse box.

Are there any fuses on the left horn?
I checked both fuses ( left and right horn ) under the hood, both checked out good. I have turned the key to the “on” position and checked the fuses with the volt meter, I have noticed that all the ten amp fuses in the box read approximately twelve volts, except for the two ten amp horn fuses.
You can connect the horn negative terminal directly to the car’s body or connect it to the battery negative terminal, which will serve as our negative feed. Next, use a +12 volt feed line from the battery positive terminal to the horn. When you touch the horn terminal, you should hear the horn beep. Horn does beep. The horn itself is good.

Why does my steering wheel honk when I turn?
The spring and horn contact ring came on the wheel which is from Goodmark. You may recall I had a gap issue after installing that wheel wheel. So, it may be a bad wheel. I could try buying another wheel to see if it solves all 3 problems, gap, clicking and horn honking.
