I have a 2001 Kia Sportage. Two days ago I noted that my horn was fading. I replaced the fuse. However, the horn will not blow. When I depress it I just get a clicking sound. What else can I do to get my horn blowing again?

Popular Problems Checks 1. Car will not go into gear:
Gear selector cable has failed
Brake lock solenoid/brake light swtich has failed not allowing the gear selector to move out of "Park"
Excessively
low transmission fluid (note: if car is operated for an extended
amount of time with low fluid level the transmission will fail
prematurely)
Shorted electrical component not allowing the PCM to control the transmission. Example: shorted fuse
Flex plate (flywheel) is broken completely not transferring engine power to the transmission.
2. Car goes into gear but then fades out of gear or is slipping while driving:
Transmission fluid is low
Transmission clutch discs or bands are worn out or burned
Faulty transmission shift solenoid.
3. Car goes into gear but does not shift out of first:
The speedometer and rpm gauges are operated by sensors instead of cables on your model. It is very possible that either your sensors are not hooked up to your tranny or that they are in need of replacing. Check all fuses.
Clean all the connections at the horn. Check for power at the horn. If there is power at the horn, check for a good earth. You may even fit a new earth cable. Failing these solutions, you may need to get a replacement horn.
