It sounds like you are getting water intrusion into the circuit, probably into the fuse box. Check the fuse box for water intrusion, Pull the fuse block out of the box and check for corrosion on the back of the block. If there is corrosion then you are getting water into the box. find where the water is coming from and replace any weather seals on the truck or box. Also check to see if you are getting water through the windshield somewhere that could be running behind your dash.

Locating 3 amp fuse to radio which is secondary fuse after main fuse at the fuse block under dash. Followed wiring diagram which indicates fuse should be near or inside radio enclosure.

Question edited for clarity, 'fuse', unless you light it 'fuze'.Question moved to sub category.

If the radio has an inline fuse, it will be within 82 of the plug at the rear. They are built into the harness. Unlikely because there are three fuses covering audio.

I have a Buick Regal 98 car that want say anything when starting, and the head lights, radio, horn and windows not working.

No radio, no lights, no start = dead battery. Even with key off, lights should come on if battery isn't dead

My horn goes off when it rains hard the dealer has replaced the horns,horn airbag pad,and fuseblock and it still happens i have to pull the fuse out to make it stop my car is a chrysler 300 touring 2005

try this- put fuse in- pick area of car- say right near the horns- spray with garden hose- wait for horns to come on- you are looking for a "short" or bare wire- hose will simulate rain- do small areas and when get horn to sound - stop and look at wires in that area for damaged wiring- crushed wires or plugs or a spot where wire has rubbed casing off- then tape area up with electrical tape and continue on till you can not get horn to sound anymore with the water

Had a leak in front windshield window after it was replaced. After heavy rain this morning, some water was on my steering wheel and some on steering column. Now my SRS light stays on & horn does not...

Depending on the year and make of this car or truck when you turn on the key the system runs a test and if the problem was repaired it will shut light off, if the light remains on then theres a problem. even if you had a scan tool reset the light it will come right back on as soon as the engine is started, this sounds like something got wey and shorted out, the first thing i would check is the fuses and then look around at the bottom of the steering column and check connections for water or rusted terminals,inside the steering wheel is a clock spring that contains wires for horn air bag and other controls if cars has them like cruise or steering wheel radio controls, the part called clock spring is what makes the wheel be able to turn without ripping wires, it like a retractable bunch of wires and sometimes they go bad just from turnning the wheel so often, heres a picture of it, chrysler is famous for problems with this, good day.johnjohn2_97.jpg

Horn in my 2001 mitsubishi diamante does not work, I checked fuse and horn relay both are good. what's next

How did you test the relay? The fuses are very hard to see without pulling them so use a fuse puller and check it in good lighting just to make sure.

If it is OK, go to radio shack or harbor freight or any auto parts store. Buy a cheap test light or multimeter and check the wires coming into the horn assembly from the harness.

If your friend honks the horn and the light illuminates, then you know to get a horn from a junk yard or ebay. If the light does not come on, then you have an upstream problem.

Headlight and hazard light and horn and aftermarket radio,

Check your neutral safety switch. I had the same problem during a hard rain, hit a bump and everything went out.
