2011 Toyota 4runner Electrical Problems

Your horn doesn't work when the steering wheel is in certain positions, which could be dangerous if you need to warn other drivers. This appears to be caused by a faulty clock spring inside the steering wheel—a known issue with some Toyotas including the 4Runner. The replacement part is expensive, but fixing it involves replacing the clock spring component in your steering column.

Your driver's side tail light keeps going out while you're driving, and this problem has been happening since 2015. Even though you've replaced the bulbs and had the tail light assembly replaced twice, the light continues to short out. The issue likely involves a wiring problem or electrical connection issue that needs to be diagnosed and repaired at the source.
