Horn Doesn't Work

[jwehrheim]

2002 Protege5 - Replaced relay, fuse is fine, I get a click when I press the horn. Is it the horn or the switch under the horn pad or something else.

Thanks

Check the horn out. Check voltage at the horn, or go Radio Shack wire it to the battery to test (put a fust in line of course).

change the horn fluid or check the volume knob, the mute button may have accidently been pressed

Yup check the voltage

If the wires still conduct current, then maybe it's time to change the horn:

the oem horn is weak. I went to pepboys and got a $15 horn, works great. I wouldn't mind a set of these hornblasters

i got the horns out of 2 lexus suv's when my horn died, they are skinny like ours and you can mount 2 in the same spot as ours, oh and did i mention they are loud as hell!(shocked)

it makes me want one really bad.

thanks everyone for your replies. One last question, for now. How do you access the horn, which appears to be behind the front grill.

 

[SlowPro98]

yeah, it's behind the grille, wicked easy to get to; undo the screws on top, gently wiggle the grille forward, but don't break the tabs. The horn is right behind it, and it's held on with 1 bolt. wicked easy. I highly recommend that you get the loudest horn you can afford. I got the highway blaster, and while it is a decent horn, but I find myself wanting something louder, especially when I'm in traffic. That horn blaster would be awesome.

My horn died after I had 30,000 miles on the odometer Went to pepboys and got one of those freeway blasters. I am looking into getting one of those train horns if I can find the room to mount it.

I have a set of fiamm big boss air horns. They definitely help get people's attention instead of making them laugh at roadrunner getting run off the road. I saw them at pepboys recently, although I had to jump through some hoops to get the fiamm branded ones. They had some other name at pepboys but were the same exact thing.

Slopro,
I undid the screws on top, but I was worried that I would break the plastic tabs. I will try again.
