Horn on 2006 taurus stop working yesterday - fuse is OK - what else could it be?

I would suspect an underhood fuse, the steering wheel clock spring, or a wiring problem. It's cheap to triple check all the fuses. The other two will require some troubleshooting to figure out. Since the horn works with the keyless entry, the relay, the horn, and its control wiring seem to be ok.

check the horn fuse in the fuse box. you have two horns. I don't think both horns would break down at the same time.

You most likely need a new clockspring rotoating contact, contact dealer for details.

it sounds like the plug in the back of the radio has come loose. remove radio and check connection. as far as the horn PULL THE WIRE FROM THE HORN UNDER THE HOOD THEN RUN A TEST LEAD FROM THE + SIDE OF YOUR BATTERY TO THE HORN IF IT HONKS REPLACE THE HORN RELAY IF NOT REPLACE THE HORN. GOOD LUCK

If you are talking about the fuses, the fuse box cover usaully tells you where?

check the horn relay # 25 ; located underhood in the fuse and relay box.

Check fuse, can you hear a clicking when you try the Horn if so that would be the horn relay, use a jumper wire to test horn in front of car please let us know what you find ,Thank You,

horn may be bad too.

• Horn
• Horn switch
• Horn relay

• Battery junction box (BJB) fuse 101 (60A)
• Central junction box (CJB) fuses:
  • 216 (15A
  • 230 (15A)
• Wiring harness
• Loose or corroded connections
• Speed control servo or jumper
• Clockspring
• Generic electronic module (GEM)

horn relay is in central junction box (fuse panel) under left side of dash.

The problem can be with the horn pad, the horn relay or the horn itself. Find your horn relay, it should be in the engine compartment fuse box. Remove the relay and test for power at the legs. there should be two legs that have power. If there is power there, take the cover off the relay and plug it back in. Squeez the relay points together and see if the horn works. If the horn still does not work, it is probably the horn itself. If it does work it is probably the horn pad, but you don't want to mess with that because of the air bag. Let a pro do it.

All of this is predicated on the fact that you have checked all the fuses.

Hope this helps
