Question: 2001 Ford Windstar mileage:
110,000. My horn stopped working. Checked for burned out
fuse. Mechanic couldn't find electrical problem.
Mechanic attempted to order new horn but couldn't get
one. Ford claims in order to order they need to know if
it's a faulty high pitch or low pitch problem. The horn
doesn't make any sound so wouldn't that mean they should
be able to figure this out without me making (and paying
for) an appointment so they can "check it out"? Any
advice?
Answer: Have your mechanic check for
12 volts to the horns when the horn button is depressed.
If 12 volts are present, the horns are defective. If
zero volts, check horn relay and check for bad
connections. It seems odd that both horns would go out
at the same time.
Question:
2002 Ford F-150 mileage: 112,000. Recently,
whenever the outside temperature is in the teens my horn
starts blowing and I cannot get it to stop. I have
to disconnect the horn wiring to stop it, but needless
to say, I no longer have a working horn.
This has happened several times so far this winter.
Any suggestions?
Answer:
Sounds like your problem is the steering wheel itself.
When it gets cold, the plastic part of the steering
wheel shrinks and honks the horn. You likely need
to replace the steering wheel. The alternative is
to pray for sunny warm days.
Question:
2001 Dodge Caravan mileage: 63,000. My horn
stopped working, I took the steering wheel pad off, and
I did not get any spark from the hot wire (should I
have?) I am not sure where to look I checked the
fuses, and all seemed fine. By the way, is
there a fuse for the horn? In addition, if
so is it the accessories fuse? How can I tell
where the problem is?
Answer:
Check the horn relay or the horn assembly. It may
be faulty.
Question: 2001 Nissan Altima, miles:
