You may have a problem with the horn pad grounding or the horn wire grounding. Be careful though, if you have an air bag you will need to follow proper procedues so that the air bag is not grounded and fired.
The horn is either damage or the ground wire going to the horn is grounding out on metal or another ground wire. Trace the ground wire. The horn contacks within your horn pad might be grounding out also.
Temporarily remove the fuse ... most likely the same for the cigar lighter. The main contact for the horn is in the steering wheel ... it may be shorted out there or anywhere between that point and the physical horn itself. You will need an ohmeter to check the wiring. Where can I get a replacement for the main contact?
check you fuse and grounding on horn.
There are possibly two relays. One might be in the relay box under the hood, behind the battery. I know there is also one inside what is called the Alarm and Relay Control Module.
Black/Orange
Possible causes are a fulty horn relay, faulty horn switch (probably part of the steering wheel SRS module), or a short circuit between the horn relay & horn switch. Quickest temporary fix is to remove the horn relay, but as a horn is part of the required safety equipment on automobiles you need to find the source of the problem & fix it asap.
This seems to be a regular problem with Amanti's as the horn blows the fuse as it is grounding out in the airbag/steering wheel. KIA wont admit it but it is a fault of the air bag sytem and needs the whole aribag replace. You don't have to have had an accident or any trauma to the car or steering wheel for this to happen as it seems to be a regular flaw from others too.Another horn Problem is the clock dial is faulty on this Model as well and they have replaced tons of those too, as they are in the steering wheel as well.
I just had this same problem with my '98 Rodeo. The horn went off in the afternoon and again in the middle of the night (neighbors loved that). I took it to my local repair shop I always go to and they found it was a malfunction with the airbag. They have to get this from a junkyard (which has turned out to be quite a challenge), but in the meantime, I pulled the fuse as they told me it would keep happening unless the airbag was replaced.
That depends entirely on what's wrong with the horn. It could be a problem with the horn relay, in which case you simply replace the relay. (Under the hood, in the fuse/relay box next to the battery) It could be a problem with the horn itself, in which case you simply replace the horn. It could be a problem with the horn switch, which is a part of the steering wheel. If that's the case you'll need to replace the steering wheel or horn switch. It could be a problem with the horn wiring, in which case you'll need to track down the specific problem and repair it. Good luck.
