Car Horn Question and Answer - This category
contains featured questions as examples. They relate to most vehicles.
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: 56,000. Do you know where the HORN
ASSEMBLY is located?
Answer: Yes, behind the bumper or grill.
