2001 Chevy Tracker, No Horn

[dhe]

I'm not sure when the horn stopped working, as I try to never honk at people. 

I noticed a popping / clicking sound when turning the steering wheel fully clockwise or counter clockwise and took it to my local mechanic.

He said he recommended replacing the clock spring, but couldn't find the part. But put everything back together and the clicking stopped.

As luck would have it the day after I picked the Tracker up, I had an urgent need to use the horn, and no horn. 

I took it back, and he tested the horn (works) when shorted, but not from steering wheel. He said he did a number of test that point to clock spring. 

For a 2001 Chevy Tracker - what would be the correct part number for the clock spring? Is there a source?

I found a long thread from a '96 model, but not sure that applies to the '01.

Thanks for any guidance!

It looks like the clock spring is part of this monster:

Part Number: CBS-1264 ; UPC: 707390926360 ; Weight: 2.22 lbs.

While the clock spring repair looks interesting, I would be very hesitant to send of this part, as basically the whole truck becomes useless without....

be happy it is not a new car with huge complex clock springs for
air bag
radio controls
dash cluster controls
steering angle brain dead.
and more.
a dash mounted horn switch for $1 passes the state safety inspection here. they only listen to you, (solution #1)

this old car suzuki does not have most parts now for it. car is too old. (and supply chain bull)

send /spend
there are 2 choices here
the mod. or
3rd party stores, even ask napa for help walk in.

2001 Chevy Tracker

GM does not sell it, I guess, you asked them?, most of their web sites now show Chevy the word tracker now missing the whole car is dead at GM ... dang.
sold my 04 when the hand writing on the wall, flagged me.
also
my jeep , here is the story of my perfect in all ways 2008 Jeep wangler with 50k miles
a recall popped
for you guessed it the silly clock spring
if it rains top down (duh) the spring contacts fail. <<< how'd have known?
so I took it in (my bad)
they fixed it and now it fails at every step, so they never test drove the car. and handed it to me CEL glowing, ( I told them and got only blank stares)
repeat this 2 more times!!!
then I did the job my self. (air bags defeated first by the book)
SOLVED !
and they forgot to plug in one connector fully. on the CLOCK spring,
Jeep dealers stink.
there fix is it has newer water proof seal.

ok back on topic.

so that leaves 3rd party sellers.
summit is a top seller here
or rockauto.

the best seller is one you can walk into.
so all car stores in town. that way you can take it back easy if it dont fit/work.

also the horn can fail most times due to the horn base ground is rusty, seen it like endless times. rust is normal.
push the horn button and listen for the relay to click , it must first. (dead horn)_

let me say good luck to you and thanks for sharing any problems with suzuk or track/kicks etc.
even jeeps I can do. have 3 here. and from 1988 to now. all are welcome here ,no porn.
