A relay is a device that uses a small control current to switch a larger current. So the horn button (small current) turns on the relay which in turn energizes the horn (heavy current device).

The horn relay is located on the radiator support It will be just under the horn it is a box that is about 1 and 1/2 inches by 1 inch. Someone may have moved it at one time or another, If it is not there, just simply flow the wires from the horn and they will lead you to the relay. Good luck!


Where is fuel pump relay located on a 1994 Chevy S10?

It is located under the radio area center of the dash low. Do not remove all the dash; the lower panel will be enough. There are 2 relays side by side. The left one is for the horn the right is the fuel pump relay, they are the same part. To check them swap them out and see if the horn blows if it does the relay is ok. Tip: #1 do not go and buy or look at a relay from Oreilly's, Auto Zone, or Advance Auto Parts. They will sell you the wrong one. I found it at Rock Auto on the web. Went and confirmed it at the Chevy dealer, where they gave me a picture of the location of the relay.
