Got the PT back today. It looks like they fixed the horn this time. Hit anywhere on the padded section and it honks. No more find the magic spot. According to the dealer, the problem was in the ground wires leading to the contacts at the base of the horn spring assembly. They also told me that three other new 2006 owners had the same problem. I think the problem drove them a little crazy,expecially when it did not work after the first attempted fix (replacing the entire airbag assembly). Needless to say I was a little bit unhappy when they sent the car home and the horn still did not work! But they find a fix, and I give them credit for it. It is pretty clear the Chrysler needs to address a problem at their factory.
Bottom line: there is a fix to the problem!
