What to do if your horn relay goes to the steering column?
Call a few locally and ask. A cheap fix is to disconnect the wire from the horn relay that goes to the steering column. You can buy a horn button that clamps to the side of the steering column and one of the connections on the button goes to the terminal on the horn relay that you disconnected and the other connecton goes to the ground.
Why does my steering wheel blow when I rotate the Horn?
The horn wire “clockspring” which is supposed to provide the necessary movement when you rotate the wheel is shorting out which causes the horn to blow. Since there is an air-bag right next to it, this can be a tricky repair for a DIYer…The steering wheel must be pulled… Agreed. On all points. Thanks for the information.
Where is the horn button on a car?
You can buy a horn button that clamps to the side of the steering column and one of the connections on the button goes to the terminal on the horn relay that you disconnected and the other connecton goes to the ground.

Why does my horn only work when wheel is turned?
Sometimes it works when the wheel is turned more, but almost never when the steering wheel is straight (regardless of which horn button is pressed). I’ve got a 1984 BJ60. On a similar topic, has anyone found a good replacement for the dual horns? My stock original horns were so feeble, I had to replace them.

What to do if your car horn is not sounding?
If you suspect one of your horns isn’t sounding, have a helper depress the horn button briefly (key on) while you touch the suspected horn with your fingers. (We recommend earplugs, for obvious reasons.)
