My airbag light is on and my horn sounds like a wounded goose
This guy looks like a homie, appreciate the video
Saw yalls sponsor on a stock car at the daytona 500 idk who but it was cool to see you guys on a car ive been watching your videos for a while
Very helpful! Thank you.
..good information and instruction.
My problem besides the horn is that my DIC in my 2010 cobalt no longer scrolls and is stuck on Trip A. Don't know what my car kilometers are!
Thank you this was really helpful Andy!
I fix my horn doing the clock spring change , first check the horn relay and check your horn direct from battery power to see if its working then change the clock spring and thats it you fix your horn switch (clock spring )you will need t25 torx special tool the one that have a hole in the center
Wow best I’ve seen on CZcams.. great job.!!!
This is the best explanation of the problem.Thanx a lot.A+++++++
Thank you so much! Very informative clear as ice!
Hoping you check comments.
Have a 13 Ford Escape. 2.2L 4cyl SE.
Had been driving earlier when I'd run out of gas. Performed a 'durability test' on the steering column as I cursed myself for not stopping at the last gas station. Horn immediately starts going off and wont stop. Had to roll into a school parking lot to pop hood and pull fuse. Trying to determine what under the steering wheel may have been jammed/dislodged in the active position forcing the horn to endlessly blare. Would like my horn to work again trying to determine what may need replacement/reset.

Hey there!
Relay is clicking and I have power to both horn terminals...but still no beep beep. What do you think?
Thanks a very great reveiw
Gonna try this thanks!
Had to take the tike to comment that this vid helped me troubleshoot my horn and replaced it myself went through the steps as u said 🤯👍🏽
sweet, i'll have to check this as soon as I get home. Thanks.
thank you. Def will try the basic troubleshooting.. Very basic and informative....
So my 2019 Silverado just got broken into. Whoever it was picked the key hole and manage to get the driver side door to unlock. When he opened the door I’m guessing the alarm went off and scared him away. When I woke up my car was completely dead I had to give a jump start and a hour or 2 later I realize my horn wouldn’t work. I did what u said and heard clicking sound by fuse box. Could this be something else or do I need to take the grill off to look at the horn?
Are the fuses and relays under hood removable, cause I can't budge them at all
2012 Ford fusion bad horn. I can hear the relay. Good info.
so my horn, airbag and cruise control all stopped working all in about a month, could it be the clock spring?
Yes most definitely
+Jasper Mize Thanks for checking us out! These can definitely be caused by the clock spring especially if they all stopped at the same time. The only sure-fire way to tell however is to get it diagnosed or replace the part and hope it is. 1AAuto.com
Did u get it fixed after changing the clock spring
I have a Nissan note 2009, horn isn't working, but I have noticed it only works when I am steering right or left, what do you think could be the problem brov thanks?
How about when it works on and off? Mostly off, especially while driving I appreciate an answer
i have a mazda 6 2009 model and mine problem is my horn works half of the time and doestnot half of the time what problem can it be sir
Thank you
What about the transient supression capacitor. That runs in parallel with the power from the relay to the horns, but the capacitor goes to ground.
I am having a hell of a time finding the horn relay on a 1993 Ford e350 clubwagon. Any chance you can help me out ?
+slip ondajimmy Thanks for checking us out! Unfortunately, we do not have this information available to us.
I have a ford ranger sport 2011. The horn is malfunctioning. Like it's honking on its own. Maybe possessed lol! What's the problem tho?
Where's the horn relay camry 2007 located
Horn works fuse is good what do I do on 08 Chevy Cobalt
2:53 my horn works on the alarm but not on the wheel itself and has no ground that I can see like in the other videos?
need to know how to connect the horn to my car remote, Mazda 6 2007 model
So, if you hit the "panic" button and horn sounds properly, would we assume that the horns are operational but it's something between the steering wheel button and the relay?
Same what was the problem did u fix it
Similar problem on 2012 Navigator. Panic button and setting the security system honks the horns good and strong. The horn has a 15 amp fuse which is not blown. I've been told that there is no horn relay on this vehicle. Don't hear any other relays clicking when the horn is pushed. Apparently the relay's job is done by the computer that controls the security system rather than a relay. Have you figured yours out?
My horn doesn't work when I push the horn but when I lock the door with the remote it sounds off. What is that
Have 2011 Elantra Limited. Car was stolen. Replaced lock set cylinder car runs now. Also broken was plug where air bag and horn plugs go. The flat white wire connected to air bag was left dangling. Have managed to connect back together. But now air bag light is on, does not blink and horn does not work. It works when I lock car with remote. Also now the Ac compressor does not turn on. AC has always worked. Need help!
Hi my hyndai kona2021 is new 1 year of using the horn doesn't work and it only works after a while of driving i went to the the dealer thwy said water got into it they blew it with air it was working and now it doesn't what should i do?

honda civic 2010 coupe, i swapped the horns and it doesn’t work, there’s no ground on the connector and the panic button doesn’t get the horn going either, i do hear the relay clicking on the inside though, any advice?
What if the wore that connects to the actual horn ripped ,2003 toyota corola ):
I have a 2012 Nissan Sentra SR 2.0 liter.
The horon is not working. I replaced the horon fuse in the fuse box. I couldn't pull the other fuse/plug to check it. Any suggestions?
Thanks

2006 dodge ram battery is dead! When hooking up the jumper cables to jumpstart the horn goes on and stays on???
Super video. 2012 Highlander. If i get a horn blast only when the wheel is turned left, does that mean the clock spring is the most likely culprit? TIA.
+Stephen Silberfarb Thanks for watching! That could certainly be the issue, good place to start.
I have a s15 I replaced horn relay & clock spring and i still hear clicking when pressing horn
Its making the clicking noise when i press the horn but doesnt work, tried switching other relays the same exacr ones and same thing happens but when i lock the car the horn works
I took my Toyota avalon 2003 in to get a oil gasket changed now my horn doesn't work and they also put in a new suspension rack...why this happened?
changed the battery few months back airbag light came on and horn doesnt sound,
If your car is a bit old horn not working and electrics ok just give it a smack with a spanner or something - mechanic I know fixed mine doing that said they get crapped up over time - knows his stuff !!
Do you have to disconnect the battery when doing all of this ?
no just make sure the engine isnt running
My horn has stopped working and now my gauges don’t work and all lights are on. Can it be a faulty clock spring ?
Mine is the clock spring and I can't DIM because I don't have the tools needed to work on the clock spring and steering wheel.

Hello 1A Auto. I have a '99 Civic whose horn only works sometimes... I hear the relay's clicking noises when I press the buttons on the steering wheel. I bought another horn at a junkyard, thinking it was the horn, but it turned out not to be, as both work hooked up to a battery... What could it be? Help would be appreciated from anyone...

My Buick Enclave 2009 horn don’t work I changed the fuse but it keeps burning them when I put on a new one. What can this be??
+Pedro Torres Thanks for watching! Make sure that you are replacing them with the correct amperage fuse first. If it keeps burning out then there could be a wiring issue somewhere that is causing a short.
Thanks!
It was my fuse
