1986 Corvette No Horn
I recently purchased a nice 1986 Corvette with 51,000 miles...
I checked and couldn't find my exact problem...
I have NO HORN at all... I replaced the relay... no horn...
I checked and jumped the relay contacts... horns both work...
I have no horn from the VATS or from the steering horn button...
HELP...
thanks
Philip

I have an 86 as well. At one time my horn would not work. If I played and played with the horn button I might get a chirp out of it. I took mine to the dealer. They said it gets it's ground through the turn signal on the steering column. They replaced the turn signal and I have had a horn ever since.
This might not be your problem at all but it solved my problem.

I had the same problem on my 86 and it turned out to the the fuse. The horn fuse is behind the message center. You can remove the message console with out taking the odometer console. Just loosen the right side of the odometer console and you can slip out the message console. Replace all fuses. Hope this helps.

I tested the fuses and they are OK...
I jumped the relay and the horns work from there...
something between the steering/horn button and the relay...
the horns do not work with the vaps system at all either...
but the security light will blink...
