2003 honda: ignition switch..Now the horn does not honk.

Resolved Question:

I have a 2003 Honda Oddysey. The ignition switch was just completely replaced by the dealer. Now the horn does not honk. (the panic alarm does come on, the brake lights work, all electronics good). more bizarre is that the horn does honk in cool weather, only as the day goes on and the car gets really hot, it stops working. Did they do something to the air bag/horn switch/push-mechanism in the steering wheel? Also, can I go on an overnight trip with this car, or is the horn going to act up worse... Is the "pushing on the horn generates no sound in hot weather" as bad as this thing will get?
Thanks.
