Default Horn & ?

Wish I had the same success some of you do with the "search" function. I spend hours trying to find help & still am challenged. So if you refer me to a previous 'thread' please tell me which one, please, please.

Horn weakly worked once, and hasn't worked since. When I press the button I hear a click on the passenger side under the dash.

What do I do?

I've found mentions regarding the 'alarm' and the truth be known, the power door locks don't work too good.

Where do I go? I don't care about the alarm working, but would like the power door locks to work, and the remote.

Steve, had the same problem in our 85, when we bought it last April. I had the horns replaced and they worked for a while. Come to find out the connections for the 12V were not good. Son soldered them and have had no problems since. I would suggest you check both the 12V and and ground connections for rust, broken, etc and either replace or solder them. Then again the horns may be gone and yoyu'll need new ones. Yopu might wnat to rum 12V dirctly to
horn(s) and test them first.

Good luck
