No horn
Hello, all.
Soliciting some opinions before I tear into this. The other day, I had someone backing out toward me and hit the horn, except no horn. When I got home, I checked the fuse, its good and the relay clicks when I hit the horn button. Before I take off the bumper cover to access the horns to put a multimeter on it, is there anything else easily accessible that I should check first? I'd just hate to remove the bumper cover and replace the horns or wiring only to find out that there was something simple that I missed first. Thanks for any and all opinions! |
how's your battery? the horn won't work if the battery is low

Were you already down to just one horn, or did they both stop working at the same time?

they can die after time...

As you can hear your relay clicking, I'm going to guess it is the horns, that one was dead already, and the other just failed now. A multimeter on the connectors would confirm or refute that.
My car had one dead horn when I bought it and I just assumed the cars had single note horns until I removed the bumper and noticed that there were two horns there and one wasn't working. |
Update
An update: yesterday I replaced both horns and am now able to happily honk! This was not a bad job at all. Cleaned the rads while the bumper cover was off.
I grew up helping my dad fix all of our cars and hated every minute of it. I have never done any work on any of the cars my wife and I have owned over the years, taking everything to the shop when needed. But there is just something about this car that makes me want to do my own work. Thanks to everyone for the help and advice along the way! |
