Horn stopped working. Any ideas?

Post by jumboplay »

Recently my horn stopped working. All fuses and relays checked, I hear it click when I try it, nothing happens. Any common problems with this? Also, where is the horn itself, since the online shop manual seems to have disappeared? :-\ . Any help would be appreciated? Or maybe I'm just low on horn fluid? Hehehe... :crying:

The horn is usually up around a headlight, but I'll check my manual when I have a chance.

Mine suddenly stopped one day when I was using it to let someone know exactly how much I appriciated them cutting me off and then about a week later it started working again. That's the only time it's happened and I've had my car about 3 years. :shrug:

If I remeber right, the horn on my car was in front under the bumper cover, passenger side I think. You should be able to see it if you can get your mellon under the front & look up.

You sure you checked the wire to see if it wasn't getting squashed somewhere in the steering wheel area. This happened to my friends car.

I have had this problem happen to another car of mine. The problem was the wire had some how managed to come loose from its holding. Just try to find the wire and re-connect it. It's not something a that is going to take forever or is hard to do. On the Flip side if you think your horn is to meek then now would be the best time to get a new one.
