Finally fixed mine. Took 5 min. This thread delivers. I didn't even disconnect or clean any wires. I just followed the directions and loosened the horn screw connection at the bottom then tightened it down. Great to have the horn back.

Wow, where can I find this horn screw? Mine still blows sometimes. Glad you have that friend and glad your horn is working.

That's what I called the "horn screw." Phillips head. From the video above.

Horn still blows intermittently,
I finally got my horn working like a champ. I saw this video where there is a screw under the air bag you have to unscrew it and clean it and around it then replace it and the horn will work again. Before that I was thinking I needed a new clock spring.

Mine is also still working, as I posted above I only had to remove the horn's cap and massage the wires, for sure it was a bad contact somewhere but I have been unable to precisely locate which plug was faulty.

Try looking in the ES350 forum first, then try youtube. Good luck Sir.

I finally fixed my horn. Took me 30 minutes. It was the blue wire dirty. Cleaned it and now it's good 👍🏾
