It could be the relay or the fuse or the horn itself. Or, it could be all three!

Push on horn and it wont blow why on your 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier?

Check the fuse?


Cavalier horn wont sound?

well, check all the fuses and check the horn relay if not work. if horn relay sound but horn not working, then you will have to check the clock spring for loose connection or tighting it.you can even look for bad wiring connection to the horn system.


Where do you find the fuel pump relay switch in a 92 Dodge Dynasty?

It should be located on the driver side fender... 2nd relay back (because theres a row of relays in that panel) I heard that you can switch the fuel pump relay with the horn relay and if the vehicle starts and the horn wont work then the relay is bad.

Why wont the horn blow on 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan?

Usually the horn and cruise control go together because of the clock spring. It needs to be replaced and there is a recall for it.


Why wont Horn on 97 impreza work replaced horn connectors fuse no other problems.....?

I had same problem. It ended up being the horn relay which is under the dash on the far left. The relay made a click, but the contacts were burned. I replaced it with a similar one from Radio Shack that I wired using mostly the same connectors.

On my 2004 Jeep Liberty the power windows and the horn relay are powered by the front power outlet fuse. use at least a 20 amp fuse.


Why wont your horn blow?

I'd like to know that myself. It seems that when I first start the car, I really have to lean on the horn to make it sound-off. After that, it responds easily. I had the horn pad replaced once but it didn't matter. I think it's a design defect.

Cause of horn on a vehicle to just start going off wont stop had to disconnect battery went to leave few hours later connected battery just fine did try to honk the horn did not apply much pressure no?

usually a stuck horn is caused by a bad horn relay.sometimes it is the horn switch itself sticking.even rarer is a faulty horn that becomes stuck. try the relay.


How do you fix the horn on a 1999 Saturn sl1 that wont blow?

You start with a little something called diagnosis. You need to figure out what's wrong with it before you can repair it. For this, a test light and a digital multimeter would be good to have (you can make due with just one, if need be). Start with the fuse panel. You need to identify which relay is the horn relay, and also which fuse supplies power to that relay. You start by checking the fuse. If that check out, you move on the relay. Remove the relay, and your test light can tell you which slot in the relay panel is the input (it will have power). If none of them have power, then there's a disruption in the connection somewhere between the fuse and the relay. You'll need to remove the fuse panel and repair it. If you have a diagnostic tool such as a Power Probe, you can supply power to the inactive slots in the relay receptacle.. it'll usually be the one directly opposite of the hot line, if you have the type of relays I believe your car does.. if the horn sounds at this point, then your relay is bad, and will have to be replaced. A paperclip and a 12v power source can also achieve this, but the Power Probe is so much cooler. Once you've eliminated those as your fault, then you move on to the horn itself. Locate the horn, disconnect the two wires to the horn. Use your test light to determine which is the hot wire (you'll need someone to press the horn button to supply power to the horn while you do this). If you have power to the horn, then the horn itself is bad, and will need to be replaced. If you don't have power going to the horn, then you have to test the switch. First, disable the airbag... this involves pulling a fuse and disconnecting a wire at the base of the steering column (on most GM vehicles, it's yellow, but verify this before disconnecting lines... Haynes or Chilton manuals will have this info). Then, you remove the cover over the horn button on the steering wheel, and you'll probably have to remove the air bag, as well. Then you can access the horn switch and remove it. You can use a digital multimeter to test the horn switch for continuity and resistance when it's depressed, but it does you no good if you don't know what the resistance is supposed to be. Instead, take a small piece of wire, or a paper clip, and jump the two wires which were previously connected to the horn button. If your horn sounds at this point, then the button needs replacement.
