| Horn is suddenly not blowing when I hit the buttons. No clicking or sound at all and the fuses are good in the box on the driver side dash. They will blow if direct power is applied to the horn. Is there a relay I can check or is the problem in the airbag? If so do any other more popular cars share the same airbag I can swap over. If I have no choice I will add a button to activate it. Ty.

| Thank you Albert, it was not a pressure problem in the wheel. I was not getting any power which turned out to be a blown fuse. Thankfully it was an easy fix. | |

You had written that you checked the fuses - this is interesting - what actually happened? | |

You had written that you checked the fuses - this is interesting - what actually happened? He checked all the fuses that he knew about. I texted him a page from the Service Manual showing the location of the Horn Fuse and Relay.

| Albert,
A guy checked the fuses on the driver side of the dash and looked at the box in the engine compartment quickly,I guess he didn't check them.
Thanks Larry, that diagram helped. It's also on the inside of the fuse box in the engine bay now I found out. 20 amp fuse was popped and I was able to change it without asking anyone or taking apart my steering column. No idea how it happened but crisis averted. | |
