    Well shit I'm lost for words then. Lmao.

    I had the same thing happen to me. The only thing I could find is the bulb didn't seem to be seated all the way in the socket when I pulled it out. I went through 2 bulbs in a week. After that, I was good to go.

    Hell, if you lived in my city, you could come by and get my spares from my old Tundra.

    Yes sir. That was my problem at least.

    I had a little corrosion/road grime in the socket as well. I cleaned that out as best as I could and used some dialectic grease.

    What year is your Tundra? Mine was a 12' and this happened early in 16'.

    Check your grounds on the horn. So in other words, take a 10mm socket that will take you 42 min to find and remove the bolts holding the horns on. Check for corrosion and make sure nothing is under the horn or bolts that might act like an insulator.

    It was a 12;) haha i checked under the horns for any corrosion and found nothing, horn still no work, slightly afraid it might be something in the steering column possibly?

    Blinker was not seating properly so got that fixed for now, thanks for the input on it

    Well I'm more screwed up than a football bat.

    Glad your blinker issue is fixed, not sure what the issue is on the horns. If it was in the steering column (clockspring), usually you will get a CEL.

    Have you checked the relay?

    This might help:

    From what I've read it seems like its the relay, just in the process of finding which relay it is. thanks for the link

    Update: horn honks if i turn it 90 degrees to the left or right but not in any other position, im too scared to take the steering wheel apart due to the airbags. Going to call the dealership and see what they say.

    Weird. Must be the clockspring.

    Smart idea on taking the truck in. Makes me wonder if the airbag would deploy if needed?

    It shouldn't, but that is the one thing I do not play around with
