Deer hit car had to replace headlights hood etc. horn doesn

During peak deer season in Grand Forks, North Dakota (aka deer season), you’ll see a lot of cars with deer-strips placed on the hood or vehicle to prevent car damage. The local police and sheriff often host a season opener where they stack deer carcasses on roads to help drivers test their car’s ability to handle the inevitable crash that follows. If you happen to ram a deer while driving during this time, the results can be disastrous — even if your vehicle is equipped with easily replaceable parts like hood latches and airbags. Here are some of the potential damages that occur after being hit by a deer while driving in Gran Forks, N.D.:

Thank you I had the same problem. My connector was also loose on my 2012 Focus. It was on the passenger side beneath the headlights. I reached through a loose splash guard and pushed it back in and whala.

Check the headlight relay under the hood in the fuse box. They will stick when they get old. The diagram in the fuse box lid will tell you which relay is the horn, headlights, etc.

You will need to loosen the fender and bumper to get the headlight out

How do you know it's the horn ? Do you have a volt meter ? Check for voltage at the horns . Before replacing parts , test . Go to youtube an watch a few basic electrical trouble shooting videos . Your vehicle has two horns an the possibility of both going out is 0 . When you press the horn switch it is a signal to the BCM - body control module , then the BCM turns on the horns . Do you have an airbag light lit on the instrument cluster ? The clock spring in the steering column could be open .What fuse did you check . F32 in the battery junction box - fuse box under the hood in engine compartment . How cars clock spring works

the battery may be faulty,just because the lights & horn work doesn't mean that the battery is enough power to start the engine the battery may have a weak sell that breaks down when you engage the starter try turning the headlights on & then try to start the engine & see how dull the headlights become,if they almost go out the battery is very low or faulty......hope this helps......cheers.

• You want to make sure to remove the connectors off the horn and test them for power when the horn is tested. You may need to remove the headlight and parking lights out to do this. The horns do go bad. If there is power but no horn honking then replace the horn. now you do have two horns. One for the alarm. But they both will blow when you hit the horn.
• The fuse is in slot 29 and is a 15 Amp fuse and there is also have a horn relay in the panel box under the hood. I think it is the far bottom towards the middle. You can flip the lid of the panel over and there is a diagram there so you can confirm.

• Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYA.

Make sure the high beam realay under the hood fuse box is working. You can swap the hi beam relay with the horn relay to test. The hi beam filiament in the bulb can be open too.

if the relay is clicking then it seems like it should blow. those trucks have a fuse box on inside of drivers door and under hood too. I would get a test light and go across both sides of the fuses and check to make sure none are blown. should be labeled horn. I think there are actually two horns one makes one note and one makes another so it is just about impossible for both to go out at the same time. try wiggling connection at horns themselves and see if it does anything. hope it helped.
