Problems with Cruise Control and Horn

I lowered my car with coilovers about 6 months ago and my cruise control and horn started to mess up alittle here and there. Now they do not work completely. Is this because i lowered it or is it a manufactor goof up please let me know by sending an email to lst_2001@yahoo.com, because i want to know if i should raise it back up or should i take it to the dealer because its under warrenty

ak can only hope to improve
Just take it to the dealer...it should all be covered under warranty.

I doubt the lowering messed up the cruise or horn.

Check brake lights for proper operation. If brake lights do not work when brake pedal is pressed then replace the fuse in the fuse/relay box under the hood (15A fuse). This should fix your problem with cruise control switches and horn. Else the problem is most likely a bad cable reel on the steering column.

Just because you lowered your car doesn't mean your whole warrenty is void. It sounds like you have a fuse or short in the system and I'd take it to the dealer ASAP, the only thing the dealer wouldn't repair under warrenty would be your suspention. Did you check the fuse like Cim said?

You need to take it to the dealer ASAP! You might be having a ECU problem and from what your explaining it could get worse. Let us know what the dealer says.
