Horn not working
I did a search, but did not find anything related to my problem. My horn just stopped working in the ML over the weekend. I didn't have a chance to check anything out other than the horn "will" work if you hit the panic button on the key fob, but "will not" if you try to hit the steering wheel. Any ideas as to what I should check? The vehicle is still under warranty, but the dealership is two hours away so if it is something simple I would like to fix it instead of making a trip to the dealer.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Thanks saturnstyl and autogunner. I am traveling and don't have the vehicle with me so hopefully this weekend I will have a chance to take a look at it. Let me know if there is anything else that it might be so that while I am looking around I can do it all at once.

Sorry everyone. I have been busy with the holidays so I haven't been doing anything on the vehicles. As soon as I get a chance I will take a look at the ML to see what is up or if I am near my dealer stop in there.
Darkmann, I might take you up on your offer when I know what I am dealing with.
Thanks again and happy holidays everyone!!!

Update
Sorry everyone for the delay in getting back on this, but the holidays were busy. Hope everyone had a great one!!
As to the horn issue. The horns are toast. It is disappointing that the ML has only 17,000 miles on it and the horns have rusted to nothing. The dealer tells me this is a common problem with the 1998 to 2001 ML's as the horns are located down low and just in front of the tires. They are going to replace them under warranty, but I will have to spend 4 hours in drive time up and back.![Mad](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif)
Can anyone tell me where they moved the horns to? I would like to have the dealer relocate mine to the newer higher location. Otherwise I will be back doing this in another 17,000 miles.
