System Description
The horn PCB relay is non replaceable ,soldered to the underhood fuse / relay box. . You would have to take the box a part to get at it . Is the air bag light lit on the instrument cluster ? Could have an open wire in the Clock spring , do you know what a clock spring is ? It is inside the upper part of the steering column , It allows the steering wheel to be turned full right to full left keeping the horn an all the buttons an air bag connected electrically.
When the horn button is pressed, ground is applied through the horn switch contacts and the horn relay control circuit to the coil side of the relay. The horn relay coil is then energized, causing the relay switch contacts to close applying voltage through the horn control circuit to the horns. For theft deterrent functions, the body control module (BCM) also controls the horn relay by applying ground to the relay control circuit to the relay.
Circuit/System Testing
With a test lamp connected to ground, probe each of the test points on the HORN fuse while activating the horns. The test lamp should illuminate at one or both of the fuse test points.
?‡'
If the test lamp does not illuminate at either test point, refer to the Horn Switch Test.
?‡'
If the test lamp illuminates, refer to the Horn Test.
Ignition OFF, disconnect the inline harness connector C275. Ignition ON, test for B+ between the horn relay control circuit terminal B and ground.
?‡'
If less than B+, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the underhood fuse block.
Momentarily connect a 3-A fused jumper wire between the control circuit terminal B and ground. The horns should work.
?‡'
If the horns do not work, replace the underhood fuse block.
If all circuits test normal, test or replace the horn switch
The PCB relay horn system consists of the following components:
