broken car horn
 

For some reason the horn on my car doesn't work i'm not sure what the problem is but i went to the junkyard and got another horn airbag thing and put that one in thinking that it might be the one i have being broken but that one didn't work either and from what i can see the buttons are good and not smashed or broken so does anyone have any idea what might be the problem and how i might go about fixing it, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Chris

Check the wireing. Just hot wire it to a battery and see

check the leads... this is a fairly common problem with eclipses and their horns.our leads can get some sort of carbon build-up on them, just clean it off with an eraser and it'll work... same thing happened to me

OK... so its been a while since this was last posted and i couldnt really figure out what was going on, so i gave up, but now apparently you have to have a working car horn to take the driving test to get your license....as i found out the hard way so i looked back at this post and this is what i did. the horn still doesnt work, i scraped off the carbon that was built up around the leads and that still didnt work.. i also got a completely different airbag just to see if the switches on mine were bad and as far as i can see they are fine. what does happen is when i hit the buttons for the horn you can here the click from where the fuse is soooo.... anyone have anything about this..

Thanks Chris

have you replaced your relay yet? (not fuse)

no... i don't think i have.....how would i go about doing that???

it should be along with the rest of your fuses under your hood. its just a little black box. you'll see a couple relays in there for various things. try replacing the horn one to see if that solves the problem

Replace your horn with a good wolo horn. Check Warning Light | Code 3 | Light Bar | Strobe Light | LED Lights for best horns.
