I looked at info for a Silverado 1500. Use a test light to check for voltage at horn fuse in under hood fuse box. According to this diagram, the horn relay has to be energized. Have a helper hit the horn switch when you check voltage at horn fuse. If hot, have to check wiring circuit to horn. In the diagram, dark green wire is voltage and black wire is ground. You could actually use jumper wires from battery for voltage and ground to horn, for testing.
Did you use a test lite to see if fuse circuit, hot all the time. Because that module is involved, I can't troubleshoot it from here. Also, my info says airbag and horn button are integrated. That airbag is dangerous. At the horn, yellow wire with lt green tracer is voltage, black wire is ground. You could use jumper wires off the battery for voltage and ground to see if horn will sound, if you try that use an inline fuse.
My info says that central security module is located under the dash, to the left of steering column, The clicking may be coming from the module, I don't know?
Check fuse. Usually located under the Steering wheel or under the hood. You will have to use the other side of the cover to determine which fuse controls the horn and see if the metal link is broken. If both are not blown its probably a short in the wire. If it randomly just happened then its a good first guess without knowing any further details.
Usually I check all my fuses any time I am looking for a specific one. Sometimes a random fuse can be the cause, and not the actual Horn fuse that is blown.
Check in your owner's manual for the location of the horn relay. It will usually look like a small metal or plastic box that plugs into either the main fuse box or the high amp fuse box under the hood. If your horn fuse is good then most likely the horn relay needs replaced.
The horns are located on the left side of the radiator
support. To check them, use a jumper wire from the
+post on the battery unplug the horn and touch the
wire to the horn contact. If it toots check the horn relay in the power dist. box on the left fender. Also
check fuse #4 a 20amp fuse in the same dist box.
But if the horn won't toot replace the horn. If none of
the things I've mentioned pan out. You can get back
to us and we'll dig a little deeper. Good luck.
I had the same problem.When i pushed on the horn there was a clicking sound but no horn.Replaced it for about $15 canadian and installed it myself.It Is located on the right on the passenger side under the car.
The owner should locate the horn circuit . prepare the tools or equipment to be used.So that when the horn circuit is check it function properly.locate horn unit,horn relay,horn switch,horn power supply.check the fuse, check the relay,check the switch,check the wires,check the horn unit.Observe safety precautions.Use terms to describe checking horn circuit. If there are worn out or malfunctioning parts replace them.If there are loose connections of wires then reconnect it . But if the owner cant do it go to a car mechanic and the mechanic will do the job.
Hello, and thank you for choosing fixya.com. There could be a few reasons why your horn doesn't work. First, check the horn fuse in the fuse box (this should be located under or in the dash on the left or right side of the steering wheel. If the fuse is good, procede to check the horn relay (this could be under the dash or under the hood) check the owners manual, service repair manual, or your local auto parts dealer. If it is found that the relay is good as well, check all the wriring to the horn (usually mounted at the front of the vechicle under the hood. follow the wiring as best as you can checking that the connection are clean and secure. You can test the horn, by diconnecting the wires (if two are available) . With some spare wire, run one wire as a ground from the ground on the battery to the ground on the horn, do the same for the posotive. If the horn sound, it may just be an electrical issue at the back of the fuse box, or the wiring may be damaged and shorting out somewhere.
