Car Horns

first check the horn relay, if that dosent work your horn switch is probably stuck try checking it!

disconnect and reconnect the battery

If your Geo is like mine (a 1997 Metro) there is no fuse for the horn. There is a relay located on the top of the fuse box, it is the second one back from the firewall. To locate it put your hand above the fuse box, push the horn button and you will hear and feel a clicking sound. If you hear and feel the click the relay needs to be replaced. They simply unplug like a fuse.

It will be in the fuse box maybe under some other name which is on that circuit. Get a wiring diagram from MOTORLIT.COM and it will show what fuse the horn is on. The fuse is hidden in the center of the dash above the radio. There are three fuses and the horn relay is next to these fuses.

The horn in my 1994 ford tempo is located behind the right front tire wheelwell. (1) Remove the right front tire. (2)Remove the inside thick black cardboard protector(A lot of work)(3)Look up inside the fender. You will see 2 small horns.One marked high(h) and one marked low(l). Test both horns on the battery to see if they work before replacing them. Only one like on my car (h)high was bad. A big job replacing the horns. Thanks ford engineers.

I had this on my 1994 Ford Fairmont (Australian) - turns out the horn pad in the center of the steering wheel is heald out from the contacts by some soft foam rubber, which breaks down after a while, so that the contacts are always touching. Step 1. pull the plugs out from the horns themselves to shut the thing up! Step 2. Get a new horn 'pad' (center of steering wheel) to replace the old one. Hope this helps.

You should be smart take it to your dealer, even thought it is probabky out of date and not available there are always guys who are amazing in mechanics and enginering because of this they might be able to fix your horn or supply you with a new one. Also try to replace your old car with modern utilites this is possible because of our advancments in mechanics.

bonk, conk (like a conk on the head, might be spelled konk), donk, gonk, honkey-tonk, Pronk (Cleveland Indians baseball player Travis Hafner - that's his nickname), zonk (like, zonk out = fall asleep) ;-)

on my Nissan tarrano the horn's are located behind the indicator units, to access themyou need to remove the indicator units and surrounding plastic grill. There is a horn oneach side of the vehicle, one will (should) be a high note and the other a low note. You'll need a ring spanner to release the nut on the back of the unit. The single cable can be simply pulled of one the unit is released. When replacing ensure you put the washers back in place to stop the unit coming loose.

Newer horns are located by the hood catch mechinism and much simpler to get to. They alsohave two cables (earth no longer supplied by chassis).

on the steering wheel inside lower right front fender, in front of the right front wheel; access from underneath

It's under the hood on the passenger side in a black box behind the battery.

The horn is located just under the head lights.....either the right or left im not sure but their there

If you've got this problem that I've got this last December, make sure you don't call Ford's service center and ask them where the horn is located on your Mercury Mariner becasue they will give you the wrong answer.

If you're horn is not working and after you've made sure that it's not the fuse or the relay, first thing you do, you order the new horn (either from the dealer or form an after-market website if you wanna install a cooler horn). The 2006 Mercury Mariner has a single horn assembly that's used for both the alarm and the beeping claxon.

Once you got that, get prepared to take the front bumper off and for that to happen you need to take both of the front wheels off (one by one) in order to get the wheel protectors off and get to the hidden screws that hold the front bumper in its place. In total, you might need to unscrew 4-6 clips on each side for the bumper and about 8 extra screws in total to take the bumper off.

The horn will be located on the driver side (yeah, Ford service 'specialist', it's not in front of the radiator on the passenger's side!) in front of the headlamp.

Make sure you get voltage to your new horn and also, make sure you connect the new horn to ground as well (after figuring out which one is the ground connector on the new horn - it might be labeled or might be not). Once that's establish, it's really easy to get the new horn in place. Test it before you install the bumper back.

And make sure you've got no screws left as spares after this entire 'affair'... if you find any left... oh well :) good luck then!

To wire up a car horn with a button you first need to run one of the wires from the horn to the battery. Take 1of the wires from the horn and run it to where you want the button to go. Connect the wire to the button and that's it.

Its fairly simple. First, you'll have to remove the old horn. There will be a cable you need to remove, with a locking snap, like every other electrical connection in the car. Remove that, then proceed to remove the retainer bolt from the horn's mounting arm. After you get the old horn out, save the screw that held the arm in, and re-use the arm if it fits on the new horn, but it probably won't.

If you bought a generic horn, you'll need to cut off the wire connector, and solder on whatever connectors the horn uses. This is a pain, as the wire isn't long enough to bring down and solder.

Once you've soldered the connectors on, mount and connect the new horn in the same place the old one was located. Check the fuse, and test.

I own a 1990 F-150, the horn on my truck is behind the front bumper, to get to it, you need to go underneath the vehicle, it will be on the drivers side. My truck has two horns, a high tone and a low tone. If your replacing them i recommend 2 extra loud low tones for the bug rig sound.

Fuse no. will be on back of pull out box which is located right of steering wheel - but lower down.

On the exhaust pipe, lower, possibly near the catalytic converter.

The horn is located behind the front grill, on the center post. To remove the grill and reach the horn; small hands can reach the horn from underneath, or, to remove the grill, there are two screws on top of the grill, and two clips on sides, accessible from the top slits with a long screwdriver.

Check the fuse which is located in the box where the relay is. If that's ok, there's a good chance the horn is no good. If you push the horn on the steering wheel and you hear the relay clicking, it's definitely the horn OR a bad connection at the horn itself. The horn is located on the driver side of the car in front of the windshield washer resevoir, behind the bumper and can easily be accessed from underneath the car. Good Luck.

Maybe the muffler is bad.

I am not sure if ut will be the same, but in my 1995 subaru impreza the horn relay was located under the dash, behind the fuse box. You have to look for a small connector with three wires going into it. The wires should be red, blue with a black stripe, and red with a green stripe. It is hard to get to, but why would they want to make it easy to fix your own car?! Hope that this helps someone, it took me a entire day to find it!

Get a horn at Autozone or somethin, and look down behind the drivers side headlights. Positive negative and ground are on top.

before going through a lot of time and expense, clean the contacts on horn and on wires that connect to horn. i bought horn and put in another switch befor i found out the contacts were ditry. expanded answer by RFXK (10/17/06): I had this same problem and went crazy looking for a bad relay. Apparently there ISN'T a horn relay for the G-20. Probably you have one of two problems, frozen diaphragms in the horn units, or corroded contacts on their housings. For the diaphragms, take a regular hammer and give each horn a dozen firm taps - rattle them good and hard. Then try again. This is what worked for me this past weekend. For the contacts, take the connectors off (expect to lose a little skin doing it), and use a tiny wire brush to scrap the corrosion off the tab on the horn housing (both horns). One of those tiny mirrors on a flex stick helps you see what's going on - the tabs are brilliantly located in their most inaccessible orientation. Use a tiny screwdriver to scrap the metal contacts in the connectors a few times. Apply a TINY amount of dielectric grease to the tabs (it's not conductive, so don't get dumb about it) and put the connectors back on. If it isn't either of these, either no power is getting to the horn, or both horns are croaked. You can check the power situation by running a clip-on from the tab of either horn and touching the other end to the positive battery lead (make sure you're making good contact at both ends). If the horn beeps, then you probably have a broken wire or (less likely) the switches in the steering wheel are bad. If no beep, probably bad horns. Good luck!

1. Remove the driver's side headlight. 2. Unbolt the horn and bracket from car. 3. Get replacement 3-wire horn. (available from Saturn for ~$70) 4. Install new horn and bracket on car. 5. Intall headlight.
