Horn relay location ? ? ?
Ok,
I have both the Haynes, and the Chilton manuals.
Neither list the solution to this question.
I then searched this topic here, and in the 92-99 forum and came up with one
{non-relevant} hit, and even its pic was a dead link. (Sigh)
Car failed State Safety inspection, for having a "non audible horn@ 200 feet"
I have 30 days to repair and have it reinspected.
fuse is good. no corrosion at horns, etc.
I suspect an "open" in coil circuit... can test by substitution,
or with VOM. [volt/ohm meter]
I found the relay diagram, on page 6-56 of the Chilton,
but it gives no location.
However, it is a SPST [single pole - single throw] relay
and wire colors are :
Anyone have a photo, of which relay, in what bank, [engine bay, or Under dash)
for my application?
It would make things a whole lot easier for this old man,
than trying to contort my body on my back, and upside down,
trying to find wire colors... and stick a meter on them.
TIA !
A picture is worth a thousand words.... (ten thousand if it'* a female ...)

The horns ground through the mounting bolt. I'd suspect a poor ground before a relay but here'* your pic:
PS. Haynes manuals suck. See if you can't score a factory service manual on Ebay or here for about $40. That would be a pretty good price.

Yep! They sure do!! I'll never buy another Haynes! Had one for my Jags,
when I was a noob there years ago. forgot about how bad they sucked,
cause I soon got their factory CD, for $35.
Have been looking for a factory manual now for the past two weeks.
I'm Willing to go for the $40...
I've seen them, on eBay, but for outrageous prices... $90, and above.
Don't want to go that high for a book, just yet...
I had the steeringl column apart last weekend, to replace the
wiper switch/mounting mechanism..... for the Multi Purpose lever.
Yes I too, would suspect a poor gnd, before a relay...... But...
!!!!! I know
I replaced, ......the horn wire with the spring load in the little socket... !!!Not looking forward to pulling the PITA air bag again. May have to though,
if it isn't a bad gnd, or the relay.....I Just want to eliminate all the easier areas first.
I don't know if it worked before i pulled the wheel or not. Just got the car, and never use the horn anyway.

Shop manual
93 Bonneville shop manual is $105 from helminc.com.
That'* why the ebay price is $90 (wished for). For $90 I should start listing some of my old shop manuals.

books?
Holy Hannah!
What are they printed on? Parchment made from lumber of Noah'* Ark?
Do they use platinum based ink?
Are they bound in gold thread?
This Inquiring mind wants to know....
Yeah.......
supply and demand... Ha!
Well then, I demand they supply more than enough, and cheaper too

Will be cuttin the surround, and modding to fit...
Next week, begins my vacation, and I'll be hitting the auto recyclers in the area,
(there'* about 10 of them near by, 5 within seven miles...)
hopefully, I'll find a useable woodgrain surround..w/o HUD...or gain control.
