No More Horns

[SNaray8442]

My horns first started to honk when I would hit a bump, then they started to honk when I'd turn the wheel. Now they won't honk at all when I hit the horn. The car does chirp when I lock the doors and one is ajar.

I've replaced the steering wheel bucket and the fuse looks good.

Any ideas where to troubleshoot next?

It’s more than likely due to worn bushings; a common problem. Check this link.

Both of my horns themselves died within a short time of one another. The alarm uses a different horn entirely. To replace the horns I used a pair from Autozone. Pulled the front bumper cover and removed the factory units. Replaced them with the Autozone ones and worked great. Same location as stock.

I replaced the bucket that the bushings are installed in, thus I have brand new bushings.

I've got to pull body panels to replace the horns? Eek!

Pulling the front bumper cover is really quite easy and should be done annually to clean out the radiators. Look at Loren's DIY for the 3d radiator install for a how to remove the bumper cover. Just a few screws and some plastic clips.
