Possibly easy fix....?

Post by 95mx3 »

quick question... while im at work. haha! since i work 45-50 hrs a week i usually dont have time to mess with alot of things on my car, although i still love it to death haha. my horn stopped working. when i press it there is a clicking sound underneath the dash but no horn sound :crying: ?! i havent had a chance to play with it yet but i was wondering maybe someone else has run across this problem?! no rush, i just hope someone knows this answer?! thanks!

if its clicking its not the fuce its the actual horn. Check the connections, if theyre good its most likely the horn itself

The click you are hearing is the horn relay. The horn switch activates an electronic switch (the relay you are hearing) which completes the current to the horn. Check the wires to the horn itself (under the front bumper) and see if they are still connected or if the connectors are corroded.

have someone push the horn, while you try to find exactly where it is clicking. Relay or horn itself. the relay may be bad, or the current is finding ground somewhere. Check wiring, it could be as simple as a splice.
If not broke - don't fix, modify. If broke - fix it right, and make it better.
