Default 1987 Horn help!

My horns are not working on my '87. I bought new horns & still no action, so I'm thinking it might be the relay. Can anyone tell me where I'd find the horn relays so I can change them out? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

fulopd, electrical service manual says horn relay is behind center of I/P, in multi-use center. check the THEFT fuse in aux fuse block first. hope this helps.

I just did this on my 85, The relay is located behind the information center in the dash. Very simple to do remove radio bezel and remove the screws the relay is a standard relay and I got mine at discount auto parts for $6 there is also a 10 amp fuse back there as well check that and make sure it isn't blown.

check the horn switch / button first... remove the "rubber cover, then "short it "(should be obvious when you see it) If this makes it work it ain't the relay.

when I bought mine this was the problem. "bent the """CLOCKSPRING""" to make it work.. sure beats tearing apart the multi use panel :eek:

Amen, the horn button is probably your culprit. Shorting it out is the easiest way to test.
