darn horn still dead Options

[illneversellmyce...]

my horn has been out for 2 months and my inspection is coming up this month so it has to get fixed.

i have check the horn fuse underthe hood and the relay their fine. Took out the airbag this weekend and all the brass contacts hits and eveything was tight nothing out of place.

so now i'm stumped, ever i have a short somewhere or the horn is just head, but i've never used a voltmeter b4 and i dont even know where the horn is actually locatd.

so i'm about to give up and go to the dealership and dont want to do that, so any more ideals

also everything electrical works in my car but the horn, that is hte only problem

There are actually two of them. Open the hood and look at the radiator from the front. There is one at the bottom and one at the top. Because there is two it is doubtful that both went bad at the same time. The circuit is exceedingly simple to re-wire. You can test the horns by hooking them up to the battery directly BTW.

I have the same problem maybe telling my story might help us both. I have two horns for the GT. The one on the top does not work. The one on the bottom has its harness cut off for some reason so definitely that won't work. I pulled off the top horn and ran it straight to the battery, no luck. I took off the bottom one and ran it straight to the battery, I almost gave up, but then it finally gave a honk. Assuming now this horn is good, I screw in on to the top now, plugged in the harness...guess what no sound now. So I took it back off and tested it straight to the battery, no luck now. I'm confused cus it just worked a second ago.

-fuse is still good or at least looks good
-is it best if I sand the paint down to get a better ground
-how can there be a short, is it just one of those things cus the wires were never touched
-how can i solve this now
-maybe I need to try another fuse just in case

everything would have been easier to understand if it worked straight to the battery then I plugged it into the harness and doesnt so I plug straight back into the battery it works then I can assume its something with the wiring or relay.

could it be a wire is loose or the contacts are bad but I did scratch/scrape any dirt I could.
