Horn Will not work Sign In
I have a 1998 Chevy S-10 2wd 2.2 liter truck mileage 130,000.
My horn will not work from the steering wheel, so I jumped the horn directly to my battery and it worked fine, I checked the fuses in the fuse/relay box under the hood, and they are okay. I also took the battery and box out and cleaned the ground screw which runs from the horn to the firewall, but when I put everything back, I still have no horn, what could be the problem ?

If you are sure power gets thru fuse and any relay involved the trouble might be in the steering wheel/column itself. You will need EXACTING PRODURES TO DEAL WITH THE AIRBAG SAFELY! There's a spring loaded contact in under wheel that may have failed. Rule all other possibilities out and you may not know what you'll find if it's inside/under wheel.


Special tools (rent-able likely) required to removed the wheel and clock spring in there to look around,

Can you tell me if there are any Relay's or fusible links other than the fuses concerning this horn, and where they would be ?


Thanks Tom for your help it is appreciated Wink

Basics: I don't pay for the master programs as I'm retired and do this with fundametal basics. There should be power at the relay - if not chase that down first,

There is a horn relay located in the underhood power distribution box. Oooops. Forgot to log in.
