Default My horn won't work...

I took my horn button off yesterday cuz it was loose. I put it back on and now the horn won't work. I hear a clicking by the passenger side when I press it but there is no horn sound :confused:

try inserting some cardboard (1/4" thick) between the metal plates, so that when you install the cap, it only goes over the top plate... that may work for you.. :cheers:

I had the same problem. You can hear a click from the console when you push the horn button. Mine turned out to be the wires were disconnected at the horns. They are in the very front lower part of the engine bay, near the fog lights and the passanger side is near the coolant overflow tank.

Mine use to sound like someone with a bad head cold. I put 12 volts to each of them and they would blow, but sounded TERRIBLE. I was embarrassed to use them.

Went to PepBoys and bought a new pair, (about $20). They bolted right in and now I blast away every chance I get. LOL Sounds like a car with gonads now (if you get my meaning).
