In the steering wheel there is a part called a clock spring, and this part activates the horn when you press the center of the wheel, or the horn button. If the clock spring is faulty, then you will not be able to sound the horn. To replace the clock spring, you will need to remove the steering wheel. If you vehicle has a saftey restraint system, aka, airbags, you will want to disconnect the battery prior to performing this task.

I just wired a new horn on my 97 Nissan and it won't work. I had wired the same horn weeks prior and it only worked for a week. The relay and fuse are good. Should I check the sterring wheel?

Make sure all your connections are good. If the horn relay clicks when you push the horn, you're getting power to it but you might not be getting power out. Get a test light and make sure you have juice at the relay going to the horn and at the horn connections.

My chrysler cirrus wont stop blowing unless I oull the fuse ..I am scared to teplace the sterring wheel.but I dont have income to brinh it in and I need a sticker

Oh, the HORN? They probably won't issue you an inspection sticker if the horn isn't working correctly, but...
...you can locate the horn (find where the sound is coming out) under the hood. It should have one wire connecting to it with a small plug. If you unplug that wire, it'll stop making noise.

You may be able to fix the problem by replacing the steering wheel center pad, but it MAY have an airbag in it. If it does, there's a risk that you'll trigger the airbag, so please have someone HANDY do that job for you.

Have a 1995 Chevy K2500 pickup. The horn relay switch is good, horn is good but it will no sound when pushing the horn on sterring wheel. What could cause the problem?

your horn button and wiring is ground for the coil side of horn relay, usually. My guess is problem with horn wiring in steering column, maybe a clock-spring issue? I saw two different years listed for your vehicle? It may not make any difference?

Horn will not blow when I push the buttons on the sterring wheel

check the power to the horn with a test light.have someone push the horn button and look for power at horn.next listen for a click sound it will come from the horn relay if it is working.find the horn and apply power to the horn and it should honk.if not replace horn.other wise there is a contact in the steering wheel that it touches .that ring or contact might be at fault.or relay if no click heard.

Horn not working. Fuse is good. 2005 Jeep Wrangler. How do you remove the rubber cover on the sterring wheel to get at the horn.

May be bad horn. Get a 12 volt test light or multi-meter and attach to the horn wire at the horn. Have a helper press the horn. If you have 12 volts when it is pressed, horn itself is bad. Otherwise, may be bad horn relay. Horn cover should pull off.

Constant horn blowing

Very possibly the horn relay. This is located in the left junction block ( fuse panel) on the left side of dash. Open driver door and you will see a panel cover on the end of dash. On the cover it should list the position of the relay which I believe is on the right of fuse panel. If you try the horn and it sticks on again, try tapping the relay, if stops then that is the problem.
