Horn in 1990 Cadillac Seville doesnt work

The Horn in my Cadillac doesn't work. When i first tried to fix the problem, i checked the fuses, and sure enough, the horn fuse was blown. I changed the fuse, and still nothing. I also checked to make sure it didnt blow the new fuse (it didn't). One thing to note is when i tap the horn, it makes a noise, its like a click, with a small hint of horn lol. There is another fuse for the horn, but its one of the big ones that you cant check. if you guys have any ideas, let me know. Thanks :)

If you hear the relay clicking,and even faint horn, check the connections on the horns themselves, there are probably two. If they seem okay then take a piece of wire and jump from +power to the horn terminal. Be prepared because if it works it will be very loud, and I know more than one person who's hit his head on the hood doing this. If it doesn't work, replace the horns. Hope this helps. Cheers.

    Use a piece of speaker wire stripped at each end, if you don't have a jumper wire with small alligator clips at each end. Any wire will work. As long as it's long enough. You can use your jumper cables if you take the red one at one end, and clamp it ot the red+ bat. term. and at the other end, touch the red clamp to the contact on the horn, after you take off the horn wire. Caution not to let the clamp touch anything else because it will short circuit and give a light show. Remember to brace yourself for the loud horn when you make contact. Post your results.

SLS. Where is the horn relay located?

On yours, not really sure. But Cadillac puts fuse panels under the back seat. The fuse covers tell the fuse/relay positions.

Horn doesnt work

check horn fuse or relay in fuse and relay box (under hood). The fuse you can visually check by looking for a blown metal strip in the fuse (use chart on fuse box lid for labels). relays are more difficult to explain how to test. but they are cheap. you can try buying a new horn relay and installing it. after that, if it still doesn't work there could be a probably with the switch in the steering wheel. if it is i recommend you take it to a shop to diag and fix. worst case it could be a bad horn and/or elctrical wire and connection. A local shop could fix this. But check the horn fuse and relay that more than likely what it is.

I am trying to fix the horn on my 95 Eldorado but none of the fuses are labeled as the horn so I don't even know where to start. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I suggest check the LH Maxi Fuses (Seats/Horn), also can find it in your 1995 Cadillac Eldorado - Owners Manual (page 325).

The fuse block is located in the glove box behind an access panel on Eldorado and Seville. There are 2 fuse blocks on 1992-98 Eldorado and Seville, one located in the left-hand side of the engine compartment, on the wheelwell and the other is located on the side of the trunk. To determine if a fuse is blown, remove it from the fuse block and examine the fuse element for a break. If the element is broken, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating.

You will need to test for power on 2 terminals, ground when the horn pad is pushed and if you jumper power to the horn wire the horn should play. What doesn't work will determine what needs to be fixed. There are bulletins that deal with the air bag in the steering wheel as being a problem so if you don't get a ground when the horn pad is pushed then I would suggest taking it to the shop and have someone repair that part of it because serious injury can result if propper steps aren't taken to disable the SIR system before disassembly. Also some special tools might be needed depending upon how deep into the column you need to go.

My car wont stay on. the starter works and it makes a noise like its turning on but doesnt stay. could it be an electric problem? the car is a cadillac seville 1990. i had a mechanic take a look and try to...

Does it have a security system? If it does see if the security light is flashing. If it is you can reset most cars by turning the ignition to on and waiting for the security light to go off. Then it will start. This will happen again.

Just a wild guess.
