What to do if your BMW horn is not working?
While the horn is unplugged, another excellent test to perform is to check the electricity in the wires leading to the horn. If you press the horn button on the steering wheel and there is no power going to the wires that power the horn, then the problem lies somewhere else. The next spot to check would be the relay for the horn.
What happens when you press the horn button?
If you press the horn button on the steering wheel and there is no power going to the wires that power the horn, then the problem lies somewhere else. The next spot to check would be the relay for the horn. Consult the electrical diagrams to determine which one is the correct relay. When the horn button is pressed]
How many points of failure are there in a horn?
If you look carefully at the electrical diagrams, you will notice that there are actually six points of failure for most electrical devices. For lack of a better example, we will use a horn to explain and demonstrate the electrical troubleshooting process.
What happens when the coolant level warning light comes on?
If the light comes on, it’s cause for serious concern. The consequences of a low coolant level can include overheating and the destruction of your engine. Repair shops have extensive experience with cooling system issues, and can resolve any issues you are having. Unless the solution is a simple one, don’t try to fix it yourself.

Are there any fuses on the left horn?
I checked both fuses ( left and right horn ) under the hood, both checked out good. I have turned the key to the “on” position and checked the fuses with the volt meter, I have noticed that all the ten amp fuses in the box read approximately twelve volts, except for the two ten amp horn fuses.
Why is there no voltage at the Horn connector?
If you don’t see battery voltage at the horn connector, the problem could lie in the horn relay, TIPM, BCM, Horn switch, clock spring, or wiring harness. Of all those components, the horn relay has the highest failure rate. Step 3: Test the horn relay.
What should I do if my horn is not working?
If only the horn function is dead, I would recommend using a scanner to see what the Integrated power module is seeing as far as “horn request” signal. If that is showing up when you press the horn switch, that module becomes the better suspect. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what happens. helpful?
Why is the horn not working at the steering wheel?
You cannot assume anything today because there are multiple computers hung onto every circuit. You would be right on older vehicles that twelve volts should be at the horn relay. In this case the clock spring is a good suspect, but the repair estimate is way out of line.
