2004 Chevy Tahoe, Horn doesn't work.

I checked the Fuse under the hood. Horn doesn't work when i push the horn on the steering wheel. But when I use the FOB to set the alram the horn goes off, or push the panic button the horn works. So the connections to the horn is good and the fuse is fine.. What could be the issue?

The button on you steering wheel is the problem, try to open it up and pull the spring just a little bit. I think you have used it too much ;)

SOURCE: horn wont work.i check the fuse in the door and

Maybe horn became unplugged. Put 12 v power to horn make sure horn works. Put test light on terminal on horn have someone press the horn button, if light comes on and horn does not blow you may need new horn. if light does not come on you may have bad contact at horn button, blown fuse, broken wire, bad horn relay or possibly just a bad ground.

SOURCE: My horn quit working but the relay and fuse are

It sounds like the switch itself, on the steering wheel, are not making contact. I'm guessing that if you can remove the front part of the steering wheel you could check and clean the contacts and also give you a chance to test the horn, while you are in there.

SOURCE: How can I troubleshoot the horn not working on my 2005 Tahoe?

Then it means that the contact plates and/or wires related to the horn inside the steering wheel are defective or loose. First of all, if you take off the cover yourself be very careful! There is an airbag inside that can pop out if you hit the wrong wires or anything. Best trick is to unplug the negative wire directly on the battery and wait at least 15 to 30 minutes for residual power to subside and prevent any juice from getting to the airbag detonator. Once done you can take the screws in the back of the steering wheel out and snap out the cover to gain access to the plates and wires. Be warned though, it probably wont be apparent what is loose or defective, so if you do not want to scratch your head with this for too long, best bet is to get the vehicule to the dealer and have it done there, although they will charge a few hundred bucks probably.

SOURCE: horn doesn't toot

You may have a bad horn relay, the contacts may be burned or worn to the point that they won't conduct. The clicking sound you hear is the relay, find it and if it's the type that can be taken apart you can take the top off and see if the contacts are okay if not you might be able to clean them by sliding just a thin piece of card stock or a business card thru the contacts. If not get a new horn relay and try again.

Horn does not work. Have replaced horn relay & fuse and it still isn't working. Please advise

Check to make sure that horn is connected at the steering wheel.
Remove the portion of the wheel that you push to activate the horn
and reconnect the wire. If that doesn't work check connections at
the horn(s).

My 1997 acura 3.2 tl horn doesn't worked.

Horn may be bad or switch on the steering wheel. The way to check either would be with a 12V light or meter.

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..

Horn dosen't work

Check fuse. Usually located under the Steering wheel or under the hood. You will have to use the other side of the cover to determine which fuse controls the horn and see if the metal link is broken. If both are not blown its probably a short in the wire. If it randomly just happened then its a good first guess without knowing any further details.

Usually I check all my fuses any time I am looking for a specific one. Sometimes a random fuse can be the cause, and not the actual Horn fuse that is blown.

When driving, my horn on my 1999 Chrysler Cirrus blows randomly and will not stop until I hit repeatedly in the center of steering wheel. What can I do that is cheap and quick to stop this?

I have or should say had same issue on 1996 cirrus quick fix just remove the HORN RELAY located on the left side of dash relay only controls horn. To really solve the issue at hand you must replace the clock spring on the steering wheel dis-arm air bag before messing with steering wheel to avoid activation of air bag disconnect battery for 10 min then its safe to fiddle with steering wheel safely.

I check the fuse and the horn is not working

Check in your owner's manual for the location of the horn relay. It will usually look like a small metal or plastic box that plugs into either the main fuse box or the high amp fuse box under the hood. If your horn fuse is good then most likely the horn relay needs replaced.

Start by having someone press the horn while you feel the relay with your finger. If the relay clicks when the horn is pressed then the switch is working properly and your problem is between the relay and horn assembly.
