Default horn problem

All, I went and cleaned all my contacts inside my steering wheel, My horn worked somewhat, when I looked at contacts in wheel, I noticed they were not clean so I used steel wool

Now when I hit the horn It does not work , But I hear a click behind the information center..

I need help..

Default RE: horn problem

Sounds like the horn relay is working, but it could still have burnt contacts inside the relay. The horn itself could be bad. One way to check the horn is run a wire from the positive side of the battery and touch the connector on the horn with the other end of the wire, if it doesn't blow, it's more than likely a bad horn, if it does I would suspect the horn relay.

My cash is on the contact mechanism (yeah, I'll probably lose that cash[:@])

I think the horn is made of two separate horns tho' - one high, one low. You say it worked 'somewhat'??? Was it high and wimpy like? Or low and quiet? Mightta' been one of 'em shot already... Now neither one is comin' on, huh?

When some folks' horn gives out, they just use sign language/the finger[sm=smiley35.gif]
