Horn in 2003 Ford Focus ZX5 not working.

The horn in my sister's 2003 Ford Focus ZX5 isn't working. I'm wondering if it's the R23 in the fuse box or is the horn just busted? If it's the R23, how do I replace it?

I have changed this a few times. Most likely is a bad horn. Replacement is 15 dollars. The horn is mounted to body underneath by the driver side tire. Two bolts hold it on. The problem is usually the horn in this car because it is located where water is constantly going inside so unless you relocate the horn when replacing it plan on repeating the process.

Your horns are behind the grill and can be a chore to get at. Before you dig into that, you know that clicking you hear? Find the box that's clicking - that's your horn relay. Try replacing that first before ripping your grill out.

if you check the wire that comes from the horn button to the relay for voltage when the horn is pushed and have voltage then you have a bad relay,if not then you probably have bad contacts in the horn pad area or even the clock spring itself.

SOURCE: Horn stopped working on 2003

Hi
If you take off th cap covering your fuse pannel there should be a list of locations and fuse volt sizes on the reverse side of the cap This should guide you to the exact location of the fuse you need. if that fuse is not burned then the problem is elswhere. good luck...

Horn does not work. Have replaced horn relay & fuse and it still isn't working. Please advise

Check to make sure that horn is connected at the steering wheel.
Remove the portion of the wheel that you push to activate the horn
and reconnect the wire. If that doesn't work check connections at
the horn(s).

2008 ford focus horn

Well it depends on what you tested in the circuit most horns are vary simple they have a 12 volt wire hot and it goes through the horn to ground . If you put your muilty meter on OHMS and touch the red lead to the +side on the horn and the black lead to the ground side the meter should read 000 or vary low resistance if not go to the frame with the black lead if it reads 000 or differane from the last test then the horn is bad. Next test the power supply to the horn so put the meter on the 20 volt DC. scale unplug the wires from the horn and see if you have 12 volts or any voltage comeing to the horn you may have to turn the key to run depending on how its wires but if the blinkers work the horn should to . You likely have more then 1 horn so look around in there make sure of what your doing or the tests will be no good . If you have no power at this point check the fuse box for a burnt out fuse it won't be a big amp fuse mabey 10 amps and may not say horn. Im sorry i don't know exactly ware the relay is on a 2008 focus but it would be in whats called a relay center witch you likely would be able to find in the oweners manual in the glove box . But the horn is rarely used and most likely a connection problem they tend to be low on the vehicle and get wet along with road salts in the winter depending ware you live can get corroided . But if your going to test make sure the test is going to give you the information you need to correctly daigonis the problem Good luck

Horn not working

Update to previous post, the horn is mounted under the front wing, I purchased another "generic" horn for £10 (rather than fords £50) and made up a cable to connect it. As the horn is so cheap I did not buy the "Kit" but angled the horn flat so least likely to take in water.
