horn
Well, today I had to use my horn for the first time, and what happened? click. yeah, so I checked it out, and the relay clicks, but the horn doesn't beep. I played around the wires a bit, and nothing. Does this mean my relays burnt, or do I need a new horn? The relay does look like it'* been tampered with, as the plastic that holds it in broke off.

I too have just recently discovered my horn isn't working :(
However, with mine it used to work when I pressed on one side of the steering wheel but not the other: now it just don't work at all
I don't hear any relay 'click' at all, however, but then again, I never did, even when the one side of the steering wheel worked :?
Any tips before I start tearing into things?

Roger!.....Now running the 12 V direct to the horn should be a piece of cake, but is the horn relay found under the dash or on the firewall?

Thanx, I'll check it out tonight after work....just one more question: would a relay on it'* way out account for [when the horn was still functioning] the horn only working when one side of the steering wheel pressed & not the other?... or is this a different issue altogether?

if I remember correctly there are actually 2 fuses for the horns. There is one on the inside and then the horn is also grouped in a large fuse in the fuse center under the hood.
Just a possibility
