My horn in my 1998 Malibu kept blowing. I took the relay out to shut the horn off. I had a diagnostic check done because this is the second time this has happened. The first time, a new relay worked. This time, replacing the relay did not solve the problem. Turns out that the horn button located within the steering wheel is stuck. Unfortunately, this is part of the air bag mechanism and will be quite costly to replace.
I am attempting to find directions to bypass the horn with a Horn Button and Wiring kit so I have a working horn to pass inspection.

2001 Saturn constant horn blowing?
Typically, that problem would only be caused by a faulty horn relay or a damaged horn contact switch inside the steering column. A frayed wire that rubs on a metal part of the vehicle. Since the relay is the easiest part to test, remove the relay and replace it with a similar relay FOR TEST PURPOSES ONLY. If the horn works properly with a replacement relay, put the relay you used for testing back and purchase a new horn relay. If the test relay left the horn ON, you probably have a damaged horn contact switch, in which you will need to replace the faulty component.
