My horn suddenly stopped working

My horn stopped working the other day just after I had sounded it to let my daughter know I was there. I checked that the contacts in the wheel were working. You could hear a clicking every time you pressed on the horn. I checked the fuse (it was good). Yet there is no power to the horns. Where is the problem and how do I fix it?

Check the relay, if you have one, it could be the horn switch too

  • Anonymous Mar 30, 2013

    Where would that relay be most likely?

  • Anonymous Mar 30, 2013

    It should be under the hood in the relay box

SOURCE: Horn Wiring 2000 Mercury Mountaineer

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

SOURCE: No horn on my '95 Grand Marquis. I have the

Your horn works off of the engine compartment fuse box. There will be Maxi fuses and regular fuses in it. The regular fuses there is one 15 amp fuse that fuse is for your horn relay. I don't know what direction they go in but it will be the 5th fuse in that row. Right next to that row of fuses there will be a row of Maxi fuses they should go in this order a 50, 50,40,30,50,40,30. In this same direction of fuses the # 2 relay in this order is your relay for your horn. If you remove this relay you should have 12 volts on 2 of these wires. There should only be 4 pins that are used in that relay even though it has for pins. The 2 power wires both work off of the #5 i5 amp fuse in the engine compartment. If you have power on 2 wires at the relay when it is removed then you will need to chack all the other wires where the relay is for a ground when someone holds the horn button down for you to check. If you have a ground when the horn button is depressed then the other terminal that is left in the relay that you removed I need you to take one of the power wires that has 12 volts and jump it over to that other terminal that is n't the ground wire for your horn when the pad is depressed. If the horn goes off then every thing is ok with that circuit then the relay has probably failed switch it with a simular looking relay in the engine compartment fuse panel then see if your horn works properly. If you don't have a ground at one of the terminals when someone holds the horn pad down. Then the problem is probably between the horn pad and the relay more then likely it is your clock spring in your steering column. Let me know if you need any more information then this.

SOURCE: horn and cruise control dont work, fuses are good

Cruise buttons on the steering wheel? Is the Airbag light on? Possible bad clockspring.

We have 2005 mercury sable. Horn was not working but you could hear the relay clicking inside the vehicle when pressing the horn button, and the fuse was fine. I found the horn by looking under the vehicle behind the driver side headlamp. Tapped on the horn with a wench and IT WORKED AGAIN!

SOURCE: 2000 mercury grand marquis horn doesn't work.

The horn is in the very front behind the grille on the drivers side. Eiher the horn is bad or disconnected or the switch in the steering wheel is bad.

Testimonial: "Thank you. I asssumed that the problem was between the relay socket and the horn. You told me the horn location and I found the cable unplugged."

Horn on 2006 Dodge Stratus does not work. What do I do to fix it?

I would say a new horn

Put battery voltage directly to it
& see if it works

If it made any sound-- how could it be a fuse ?

If it was a fuse, nothing would happen & a new
fuse wouldn't do anything, until you found & fixed

Horn seems to short out and has a thumping sound

sounds like there is a short somewhere in the line, use a multi meter and check the wiring to see. also check all the grounds and make sure they are not rusted over or loose. please rate thanks

Horn not working

For starters, check the fuse block and inspect the most related fuses, like HORN, ACC, dashboard. The owner's manual should have a troubleshooting guide for the most basic stuff, including the horn. Try this for now and see how it works. Let me know if the problem persists. Good Luck.
