1995 LeSabre: Horn honking randomly. Is there a way to use the existing horn and run a wire to a separate switch to the inside of the car? The cost to replace the switch is too high since it located in the steering wheel on top of the airbag.

You can by-pass the horn pad on the steering wheel and install an after-market Horn Button to operate the horn, and you can purchase an after-market Horn Button from most auto part stores for under five dollars, and there are a few different designs that you can choose from.

You will also need enough ground wire to wire the horn button into your vehicle, and most likely a few wire connectors, and that can all be figured out once you actually see the Horn Button that you purchase.

To install the Horn Button:

First locate the turn signal switch wire connector and it should be on the lower right side of the steering column.

Then locate the Horn wire, it will have battery voltage at the wire and when the horn wire is grounded the Horn will operate or sound, and usually GM used a Black wire with an Orange stripe for the Horn wire at the vehicle wire connector for the turn signal switch from the vehicle wire harness, and the wire usually changed to a solid Black wire on the wire connector from the turn signal switch. However that is not always the case, and the wires should be tested to be certain of the Horn wire.

You can connect a test wire to a good ground and quickly make contact with the wire that you are testing and when the Horn sounds then you have found the right wire. (make contact for only a second and do not ground the wires that you are testing for more than a second or you could blow a fuse)

Once you have successfully located the Horn wire, then on the wire connector from the turn signal switch, cut the horn wire about three inches from the wire connector for the turn signal switch. (or at least enough to connect a wire to the cut Horn wire from the turn signal wire connector)

The rest is simple, you just connect one of the wires from the Horn Button to the cut wire from the turn signal wire connector, and then connect the other wire from the Horn Button to a good ground, and then test the operation of the Horn Button, and if the horn is working with the new Horn Button then mount the Horn Button where you want it to be and the job is complete, and you should then have a fully functional horn again.

I have made you a wire diagram to help assist you, but it is only for a referencre and the wire colors might not match, so be sure that you actually test the wires to find the actual wire for the horn. Let me know if you require any further assisance.

Horn randomly honks(very annoying while your trying to sleep) HELP!

its possible that the relay is the problem as most relays have a second power feed wire,if it shorts to the horn side of the relay it can blow the horn.doesn`t happen very often but it does happen.this could explain the horn blowing without the fuse in.you can get a door key made at a lock smith to solve that problem.

Horn honks by itself

This is a common problem with GM vehicles in that year range. The horn switch (buttons) in the steering wheel pad get stuck closed. The switches are embedded in the air bag assembly and would be difficult to replace. A temporary fix to stop the horn is to remove fuse #3 in the relay center which is located in the bottom of the dash on the passenger side, the plastic cover has to be removed for access. DO NOT only disconnect the wires from the horns as the relay switch that controls the circuit will remain powered constantly and will kill your battery. To restore horn function there are aftermarket horn button kits available at most auto parts stores.

If this info is helpful please give me a favorable rating.

Horn honked randomly but is now constant. I have disconnected both wire connections at the 2 horns. Since as soon as one is connected, the horn sounds. How do I properly identity the voltage horn wire...

If you take the steering wheel off you'll see the ground wire that grounds the constantly connected horn. Note the color of the insulation.

You could also reroute the wire from under the hood starting at the horns and simply connecting a switch that grounds the horn out to operate it with an outside switch, that is outside of the steering wheel.

The horn on our LeSabre starts honking on its own about 1:00 in the morning. Can it be fixed without taking out the airbag?

no. the horn switch is underneath the airbag, and if the horn is activating itself late at night (when it is cold) then the switch is most likely what it is. the cold makes the plastic around the airbag and switch contract, causing the horn to make contact. if you want to just silence the horn, you can remove the horn relay in the underhood fuse box. should be labeled in the owners manual

Horn honks when turning, randomly

sounds like a electrical problem. When you turn it is completing the circuit some how, sounds like wires are touching each other and making the horn honk when turning. easiest thing is remove the fuse if possible.
