Can you switch your horn relay switch with you cooling fan relay switch because i think my cooling fan relay is burnt out, i can go without a horn until i buy a new relay for the fan

• Relays carry high-amperage current controlled by a low-current switch
• When a faulty relay is not replaced, the circuit will either be non-functional or remain engaged. here's your relay you need.

try your remote batteries i would remove them from both remotes then reattach the batt cable if this dosen't work could be a bad alarm controller fan relay has nothing to do with it you need a new radiator fan thermo switch located on the radiator

relays are located left end of the instrument panel.look inside owners manual in glove compartment, it has all fuses and relays locations.

hi.
the sensor is usually located on the side of the radiator. it is usually a srew in unit with 2 wires coming from it. just remove the wires, unscrew the old one, and screw the new one in and reconnect the wires. if you are lucky, you should not loose more than a cup of coolant either.
hope this helps

well there can be three things wrong, If the mechanic actually umped hte fan then there can only be one of two things wrong with it. 1. the fan relay or the fan temperature switch. the relay is the easiest to test as you can just swap it out with the horn relay and try honking the horn. Horn works then its the fan temperature switch. Horn does not work it is the relay.

Good Luck

#1 Cooling fan relay may be mounted on the radiator fan itself or on the left side frame rail small circuit board looking with 2 screws holding it to frame near the radiator.
#2 your horn and cruise passes through the airbag clock spring, most likely the connection in the clockspring is open,replace it and you should be good

The horn maybe a horn relay,or a bad horn,or the horn button .The cooling fans,check to see if they will come on with the ac on,if not,check the fuses,and the cooling fan relays,if the cooling fans come on with the ac,then change the coolant sensor.

Hi, the relay for AC compressor/Horn are on the left as you look at the car from the front. in the middle are Blower/Hi/Low and On the right,Engine Fan High Engine Fan Low. You may have more or less relaysand they may not be in order.

They are located in the Power Distribution Centre under the hood up near the wipers on the left. The fuses and breakers are on top and the relays are on the bottom.

Find the horn relay because its reasy to honk the horn while you pull the relay that completes the circuit. The one that is dissconnected and the horn wont blow is a good relay. Check the power rating in Amps and switch with the fan relays. You can find the fan by unplugging the coolant temp sensor. This will make the fan run all the time on High Speed (a good temporary fix for traffic jam overheating) and unplugging relays untill the fan stops running

Good Luck.

Assuming you don't have any other problems to deal with like a bad horn relay, you would want to intercept the horn signal wire going up into the steering column and wire that to the switch such that it gets grounded by the switch when you want the horn to honk. Since a toggle switch could be left on for an extended amount of time, I would think a momentary switch of even a push button type might be a better choice?

The horn relay is used to allow for large current flow going to the horn itself without forcing that same amount of current to flow thru the horn switch in the steering wheel for example, which might be easily burnt out without the relay's buffering effects. Even a large macho toggle might not be able to handle a horn's current if used regularly. The load for a raw horn is highly inductive (arcing,sparking) in addition to being a very large current draw of 10 amps or better, both conditions tend to make kindling of everything but the most robust switches. Those switches when you do find them cost the big dollar$.

You might just need a horn relay, they do have a lot of work to do - they are allowed to wear out occasionally considering their use.

TRY SPINNING FANS BY HAND CAR OFF,SEE IF THEY ARE SEIZED. ALSO LOOK FOR BURNT WIRED ON FAN CIRCUITA S WELL AS MOST COMMON RELAYS FOR DAMAGE OR BURNT UNDENEATH
