You may need to put a relay in it as the current from the horn may be back feeding up the immobiliser horn circuit and causing a short. Sounds like the immobiiliser has its own source of power seperate from the factory circuit When you press the horn the power goes to the horn and up the immobiliser horn circuit and it blows the fuse.
Have you put a new fuse in activated the immobiliser and checked if the fuse has blown or stayed intact?Have you put a new fuse in activated the immobiliser and checked if the fuse has blown or stayed intact?

The most common cause of this short is the horn coil, replace the horn and the problem will be fixed, a quick test is to disconnect the horn and press the horn button, if the fuse doesn't blow the horn is the problem.

Should be clear that the problem is in the steering column horn mechanism, but to fix it you will need to remove the air bag.. Are you competent to do that safely?
my guess, its a dead horn? both dead? no actual question asked???????? the fuse is blow? in fuse box, eng. bay box.? if no power to horn, (voltmeter) we check power in and out of relay if there is one. then at the horn button wire, (air bags can kill any mech. defeat them first if heck bent to fiddly steering column parts in any why) all this info is convered in in the FSM, get one. or login to alldata dot come. and read it. here, ill look at yours. now.... a fast look. ok 2 horns, hi/lo, and 1 relay in the under hood fuse box. it should be labeled in the box, HORN the relay can not work if the fuse is blown or the horn enable line is dead. button. the button grounds (0v) the relay via wire color lt.green-blu pin a11 on relay. if the a11 is at 12v the fuse is good. if you push the horn button this A11 goes from 12v to 0v, and the relay energizes (click) and the horns both blow. if no power makes it to the horns, the relay is bad no 12v if by chance the relay output to horns go to 12v, then the horns are both dead.
Will the horn sound when you press on the horn button? Sometimes fuses, or relays in the electrical system fail. If no horn sounds when you want it too, check the under hood fuse block, or interior fuse panel. Normally on the back cover of these two places identifies which fuse or relay works what. Check horn fuse to see if it's blown first,than have the relay tested. Just basic info, but it's where I would start.
I have a 1999 corvette and the horn will not blow when pushing on the horn pad. It beeps when locking the car and security system.how do I locate the problem.
Thanks Bob
Check fuse. Usually located under the Steering wheel or under the hood. You will have to use the other side of the cover to determine which fuse controls the horn and see if the metal link is broken. If both are not blown its probably a short in the wire. If it randomly just happened then its a good first guess without knowing any further details.
Usually I check all my fuses any time I am looking for a specific one. Sometimes a random fuse can be the cause, and not the actual Horn fuse that is blown.
Check fuse for horn and for dash lights. If the interior lights work then suspect dimmer switch for the dash lights. If you press the horn button do you hear a click under the hood or inside the car? If you do not then the fuse is blown and if the fuse is good then the relay may be suspected bad. If the fuse is good and the relay clicks then suspect the horn to be bad. If fuse is blown and you put a new one in and you push the horn and the fuse blows again, then disconnect the horn before replacing the fuse again. Then push the horn button and see if you hear the relay click if you hear a click the the horn is bad or wiring butmost likely the horn. If you have the horn unplugged and the fuse is good and you push thee horn button and no relay click suspect the horn button to be bad. Hope this helps.
Your horn buzzer is either broken, or it is not getting power. The click you hear is the horn relay. It is good that you can hear it.
To diagnose the problem, locate the horn module. It should be behind the grill in the front of the car. Remove the power wire. Get an assistant to press the horn button while you measure voltage in the connector. If you have voltage, replace the horn. If not, find out why there is no voltage. It could be a blown horn fuse or a broken wire. Good luck.
no, sounds like its time for new horns, have someone push horn button while you check for power at the horn, if theres power then replace the horns,sounds like bad horns to me,good luck.
Find horn, remove wire connector from it, try new fuse, push horn again, if fuse blows, you have short somewhere between, if it doesn't, it's the horn.
