need help w/horn
According to my wife, the horn spontaneously started blowing and then stopped. Now there is no sound when the horn button is pressed. Checked the fuse and it appears fine. Any ideas what to check?

Re: need help w/horn
It's possible that the horn relay is not working or is stuck. When the horn button is pressed, the relay closes and allows current to go to the horns.
It is unlikely that both horn buttons stopped working at the same time, or that both horns are bad. You can check the horns by disconnecting the + wire from each horn and running a small piece of wire from the battery to the horn terminal to see if they blow. The horn circuit is also tied into the security module (if you have one) Try setting the security system with your remote and then try unlocking the door with your key to see if the horns blow. Are you sure the fuse is good? Appearances can be deceiving. Try another fuse. If the horns blew constantly and then went silent, the fuse may have blown. .
