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.
What to do if your car horn is not working?
If the fuse is good, jump power directly to the horn with a homemade fused jumper (pictured here). You can make a fused jumper with 16-gauge wire, two clamps and an in-line fuse holder. Connect one clamp to the terminal on the horn and quickly touch the other end to the positive battery terminal. If the fuse blows, you’ve got a bum horn.
Where is the Horn relay on a car?
Locate the horn relay. The horn relay is found in the main fuse box located in the engine compartment. Use a multimeter to test the horn relay. If you aren’t comfortable with testing a relay, you can try this old trick.
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.
Why is the fuse on my car horn not working?
The first step is to identify the source of the problem—here’s how. Car horns sit up front where they’re exposed to rain and road chemicals. Once that spray gets into the horn’s innards, it can short out the coil and kill the horn (and blow the fuse in the process).
Is it against the law to disconnect a car horn?
In many states, yes. Check with your state MVA/DMV to verify if disconnecting the car horn is against the law. How can I disconnect the horn on my car? To disconnect the horn, locate the fuse for the horn in the fuse box. Remove the fuse. The car will still operate normally without a horn. You can also remove the horn relay.
What’s the best way to fix a broken car horn?
Car fuses are small and it can be difficult to get a good grip on them with your fingers. Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to grab hold of the top of the fuse and pull it straight out of the fuse box. Don’t wiggle or bend the fuse or you could break off a piece in the fuse box that will difficult to remove.

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?
