SOURCE: my horn does not honk when i press the steering

It may, or it may have two triggers for one horn - one for the alarm and one for the horn button on the wheel. You'll want to check the horn fuse and if it's good, have a pro service the malfunction, as repair will involve handling and removal of the airbag - not recommended without experienced hands helping out.

SOURCE: horn wont blow

the problem is the rotating contact that connects the horn to the steering column wiring harness, this part is called the clock-spring contact, u must remove the steering wheel to change the part out.

SOURCE: unable to honk the horn

Sounds like they cut the wires to your horn, by laying on the ground and looking up behind your front end. That's where the horns should be located. Or they just unplugged them. I hope that this helps. If not, I will still be here if you need me. Take care and best wishes to ya.

SOURCE: Horn blows when steering wheel is turned. Is is a short?

this is caused by a defective/shorted rotating ribbon contact under the steering wheel called a clock spring, to replace this part u must disarm the airbag remove it and the steering wheel and then replace the clock spring, this is a dealer only part.

SOURCE: My 03 gmc HD 2500 horn doesn't work but when I put

the wiring on the steering wheel hooked up to the horn may have come undone or even around the steering colum there are two screws on the bottom of the coloum you can remove to acces the wiring, check to see if you may have a chaffed wire or even a cut wire

I have a 93 chevy caprice classic and horn will not blow tried replacing the horn relay wasn't it ? Have any suggestions?

Been there done that.
It is the switches in the steering wheel.
Remove the battery cables, then pull the air bag and replace.
Took me months to find this place, see above.

Horn won't blow in my 2001 toyota corolla

CHECK for bad grounding of horn itself, rust and oxidation may not allow it to ground, also try "jumping" a wire from battery to horn, if it blows horn itself is good, contacts inside steering wheel button may be bent flat, or wire bad..

2001 GMC SIERRA 2500 HD alarm horn stopped working, reg horn dose'nt work either. Alarm lights still go off when activated through key fob. Checked all fuses and wiring, driving lights not working...

You need an ohm meter and check to see if ther is power at the horns and lights. There is no programming that turns off the horn on the steering column. But I have one of these trucks and had the same problem with the lights and horns but it didn't happen at the same time. My lightbulbs burnt out and the actual horns under the bumper did to. Hope this helps.

Horn just goes on its not the alarm so took horn use out

  • The horn relay contacts are welded or the armature is stuck on. Replace the horn relay.
  • The horn switch on the steering wheel is stuck on (this is generally rare, but not a do-it-yourself repair because of the risk of exploding the air bag if you don't know how to safe it).
  • The horn switch wiring insulation has been cut and there is a short. This would probably be intermittent.
  • If you have a factory alarm, there may be a solid-state switch that takes its input from both the driver's horn switch and the alarm module. This switch could be shorted - it's probably a simple transistor, but may be mounted on the alarm module board. If so, disabling the alarm would not stop the horn unless the module is physically unplugged.

Where is the horn relay located on a lincoln 2002 ls v8. horn blows where alarm is press...but it will not work when i press the horn button insided the car?

If the alarm makes the horn work, then it is not the relay.
It is the horn contact or slip ring.
You need to take the cover off the steering wheel center.
But this could be dangerous due to air bags.
Disconnect battery first.
Steering wheel might have to come off.
Recommend a shop because most people don't have the tools for pulling steering wheel.

Battery

I've had this exact problem before when being jumped off. The fob DOES NOT make it stop. We removed the fuse that goes to the horn. As soon as your battery gets recharged from the alternator, the fob will work again and the alarm will quit sounding. The only pain about removing the fuse is that the cruise control will not work until you put it back.
