Horn blows continually on my 1990 Mitsubishi Mighty Max when ignition switch is turned on.

No details. I have temporarily pulled the horn fuse to stop the horn from blowing.

    You need to replace the horn button since after a period of time the foam or rubber breaks down and needs repalcing. You can order replacement kits online that are around $14.00 plus shipping

    Where can I find this "replacement kit" for the horn button. The foam has broken down on my '91 Mighty Max and I had to pull the fuse to keep horn from blowing continuously.

Possibly a bad horn relay, or maybe the horn switch on the steering wheel is acting up.

SOURCE: horn doesn't work in my Mitsubishi Mighty Max Pickup

Actually, an older Mitsubishi truck (mine is an '88) doesn't have a horn relay. The horn (located just behind and below the front grill on the driver side) has two leads. One has 12v that comes on when the ignition is turned on. The other has a lead going to the horn button. That button will ground the horn, causing it to blow. The ground actually AT the horn is not needed at all. To get at the horn to check it out, you remove the screw directly under (but on) the steering wheel. You can then flip up the horn assembly...just put pressure upward on the bottom of the horn and it will flip out. The lead coming to the horn should have 12V on it if the ignition is on. When you ground that lead, the horn should blow. If there is no voltage on the lead, the horn is probably shot (circuit is open) and you will need a new one. So, if your wiring is ok and your connectors are connected, either you have a bad horn or there is a problem with the horn itself in producing a ground.

SOURCE: Torque specs for mighty max

Per my Chilton's manual tehe bolts should be (cold engine) 65 to 72 FT. Pnds., the cam shaft bearing bolts should be 8x25 = 15 - 19 Ft pnds and the 8x65 should be 14 - 15 Ft Pnds.

The sequence is as follows for the (10 ) head bolts:

7 - 5 - 2 - 4 - 10

9 - 3 - 1 - 6 - 8

I hope this may help,
Tom

SOURCE: replace valve seals on a 1988 mitsubishi mighty

The safest way is to remove the head and work on a bench. With the use of a special tool you can change the valve seals with the heads on (worst case scenario you drop a valve and have to remove the head to retrieve it). When you remove the overhead cam or the rockers all the valves will be closed. If you remove the spark plug and screw in an air nozzle hooked up to an air compressor you can remove the valve springs, with a valve spring compressor, and replace the stem seals. It will take about 100 psi and you will want to replace the seals one at a time. You should be able to buy the air compressor fitting for the spark plug hole from Mac or Snap-on. I made one from an old spark plug by knocking out the porcelain and attaching a hose and air line fitting (risky, but it worked on my Goldwing)

I have a 94 Mitsubishi Mighty Max. The pad under the cover which controls the horn is broken. How do I get another one?

What do you need a horn for ,you would get a right fine for sounding the horn in the UK ,here in spain the horn is used for telling someone you have arrived ,outside a block of flats ,when the car in front doesnt move off before the lights have changed to green or attracting the attention of a pretty girl ,which doesnt happen in the uk as they all wear burkas or they are beaten by the jihadi police if uncovered .Go to the dealer as these parts are dealer only

1992 mitsubishi mighty max 2.4 liter manual, could not get starter to turn over until i went directly to starter, does not seem to be getting enough voltage to starter solenoid, what do i need to check in...

Run a wire directly from the (disconnected) starter solenoid wire to the (disconnected, just grounded) horn. See how it blows. If weak, it could be the ignition switch or the clutch safety switch.

Have a short in the Horn/dome light fuse on a 1990 chevy suburban, keeps blowing fuse even when truck isn't on. using a 20 amp fuse and with truck completely off as soon as the fuse is put in it blows...

You will have to trace the wiring. There is a short somewhere before it reaches the actual horn or light. Horns pull an extreme amount of amperage. The relay may be stuck or the wiring to the switch may be bad. My bet would be a shorted switch or relay.

Horn blows constantly, doesn,t blow the fuse or anything else. can this problem be outside of the horn blowing assy. on the steering wheel? it,s a 2000 galant. problem occurs all the time if the switch is...

  • The horn relay might have welded contacts (stuck in the on position). Pulling the relay should stop the horn.
  • The wiring harness on the steering column might have a broken wire to the horn relay shorting to someplace that applies power to the relay. In this case, turning the steering wheel all the way to one side or the other may stop the horn, and it won't sound when you press the horn button.
  • The horn button in the steering wheel is stuck on or shorted.

No horn

Apply 12 Volts DC directly to the horn to determine if it is good. If it is then look for a wiring problem. If you find none, suspect a problem with the horn switch in the steering wheel.

Horn doesn't work in my Mitsubishi Mighty Max Pickup

First could you do a couple of test to confirm what is actualy wrong?You will need to buy a test light/probe to confirm power to the horn etc,the tester is cheap and a good addition to any self diagnosis you do on the vehicle.Try running a wire from the horn positive terminal directly to the positive side of the battery to make sure the horn actualy works.Also make sure it is securely bolted to the car,not loose as its bolted down tight to give the horn the earth it needs to work.If horn doesnt work when directly connected to battery you will need to replace it and problem solved but if it does work then you will have to check the power to the horn button cant remember exactly but I think its the centre of the steering wheel.Make sure the wire coming through the centre has power.Let me know how you go and if problem still exists let me know.Horn is usualy located at the front of the vehicle either behind grill or in the engine bay near to the headlights.good luck.
