Horn issue

bbrence · 08-02-2006, 01:27 AM

I need help! I installed aluminum cruise control buttons on my steering wheel. Apparently, I shorted out my horn in the process. I am assuming I blew a fuse, but I can't find anything that tells me where the fuse that controls the horn is......in the fuse box under dash, or under hood?? And, which fuse is it? Can anyone help???

If the horn is broke just use the finger

In all seriousness, I have no idea where the fuse would be. My opinion would be it was underneath the dash, just start pulling fuses to see which is blown

The fuse for the horn is in the power distribution box in the engine compartment. It is a 20A fuse where the small fuses are and is the 2nd in the row closest to wall of the box (location # 16) (same row that the diode is in but on the opposite side).

Not even sure if my horn even works (never used it).....I perfer the finger method suggested by InfamousSVT

Yes, I also use the 'finger' method. Now and then, a horn will prevent some idiot from backing into you in a parking lot......or attempting to change lanes "through" your car.

So was it the fuse?

No.....unfortunately, the fuse is fine. I guess it's going to the dealer to figure out what is wrong.

if you took off the stearing wheel you might of knock off the ground wire

You park your Cobra in a public parking lot. I sure hope not.
