Your horn works most of the time, but occasionally fails to sound when you press the horn pad—especially when it's cold outside. The dealer has visited five times and replaced the clock spring, but the problem persists. This intermittent failure could be a safety concern when you need the horn in an emergency. The issue likely involves either the horn relay, the horn switch contacts in the steering wheel, or wiring connections that may be temperature-sensitive.

Your dashboard lights flicker off and then back on while driving at night, and this has happened multiple times over the course of a year. This is distracting and makes it difficult to see your instrument cluster when it occurs. The issue likely involves a loose electrical connection or a failing component in your lighting circuit that may need inspection or replacement.
