How do you replace the horn - 2001 Pontiac Grand Am SE

WITH KEY ON EVERY THING ELSE OFF PUSH THE HORN YOU SHOULD HEAR A SMALL CLICK THAT THE HORN RELAY IF SO TEST FOR POWER AT THE HORN MAKE SURE IT IS STILL CONNECTED IF POWER IS GOOD REPLACED HORN

use a test light see if horn getting power,if test light flash when you press horn pad,more likely horn could be bad or hot wire horn see if it works,if no horn need replacing,if test light dont blink when you press horn pad you have blowed fuse or bad horn relay,if both fuse and relay of the horn pad bad have replace whole horn pad with airbag in the steering wheel.

check horn relay.when you say replace did you replace horn control with airbag in steering wheel or did you replace horn.if you replace horn and fuse and relay okay problem is in the horn pad with airbag in steering wheel you have you replace it before horn will work again.

if the steering wheel clicks when you push on the horn then the wiring from the horn pad out to the horn is good.if it clicked before you replaced the parts then you didn`t have to replace them.check the horn at the horn,with someone pushing on the horn pad tap the horn to see if it will try to work if so then the horn needs to be replaced if not then run a power wire from the battery positive to the connector at the horn if the horn works again the horn needs replacing.

The clicking you hear is the horn relay working.
I would locate the horn and insure the wiring is intact and the horn has a good solid ground.
Then while someone is pressing the horn button measure the voltage at the wire that attaches to the horn to ground. If you get 12v or more the horn is bad. If you don't get any voltage replace the relay

The horn needs to be replaced if it is a weak sounding unit now

replace the horn.thesecurity system should have a seperate horn to the normal "tooting" horn.

OK, here is a step by step guide to help you replace the horn at hand.


Step1 Locate the stock horn. It will be in the front under-hood area of the truck and may be under the battery or inside the area between the fender and the inner fender. Behind the grille is also a possible location for the stock horn.
Disconnect the power wire, which will be attached to a spade on the horn. If possible, remove the horn. The horn will be held in place with a small bolt. Step2 Purchase a replacement horn, either from the dealer or a universal aftermarket model from an automotive parts dealer. Step3 Install the horn in the original mount if a stock horn is the replacement choice. Reconnect the power wire. Step4 Mount a universal horn in the stock bracket if possible, or use a large self-tapping screw and mount in a convenient location using the bracket that is supplied with it. Step5 Connect the wire connector to the horn. In most cases the stock wire connector will simply plug on to the spade connection of the new horn. If it does not fit, cut off the original connector and replace it with a solderless female spade connector and plug that onto the horn terminal. If the horn has two terminals, the other is to be grounded to the car body using a self-tapping screw.


Please rate and god bless:)

no/ you have 2 horns your right about that but its one wire connector for each horn usually one horn on the right and the other on the left/ the horns should be slide in connector and if he cut them for one doesnt seem right/ I bet that was the problem he tried using the same wire from the original horns when he kind of grounded the horn so it would not work / but there is only one wire per horn/ Please rate my response/ Thank you very much

Behind the grille. Open the fuse box, have somebody push on the horn, look to see if the horn relay is claicking, if so, replace the horn. If not, replace the relay. If the relay replacement does not help, pull the horn pad off & touch the horn pad wire to ground. If the horn still does not go off, you may need the clockspring that powers the air bag & the horn pad connector.
