The relay is to allow the new horns to draw full power from the battery. They won't be nearly as loud if you don't wire it the way they suggest, and you may still blow the fuse.

Horn on 2005 Prius only work with key.

Check the Horn Relay (in fuse box under the hood). You will need to check for Circuit continuity between the Relay and the horn button. There must be a loose connection under the dashboard or in steering column. Pressing the Horn button Grounds the circuit, so check the circuit from the relay to the horn button for continuity to ground.

Horn not working

what country, ??????? horns vary by country some have 2 horns.
it can only be 4 things. on all cars. 06 Toyota Hilux?
to find it only takes a voltmeter, any DMM set to volts.
a horn, (or is ground at base rusty)
the wires. (that includes connections )
the horn relay if fitted (FSM read horn page,)
and lastly the horn ring in the steering column.
any or all, only a voltmeter can find all problems all the time.
the clock spring is AIR bags, you defeat them when working
on the steering wheel in any way shape or form or risk neck snapping.
RTM read the FSM, manual. its all there.
so is it at alldata.com

usa
the Hilux name was retired in 1976 in favor of Truck, Pickup Truck, or Compact Truck.
read the confusion here, for GEN 7 pickups.

my motto:
NO YEAR
NO MODEL
No engine. (or transmission type A/T or M/T?, if that is in question)
NO HELP (or your joy)

The horn on my 2008 Yaris has stopped working

Someone would need to test the relay and the circuits it controls.
The horn pad grounds the relay to make the horn blow.

Horn on 2000 toyota camry not working!!!

Your horn circuit is very simple. It consists of the primary circuit, which controls the relay coil and the secondary circuit that applies voltage through the relay contacts to the horns.

The Horn fuse (10 Amp) in the engine compartment fuse block supplies the battery power for both the primary and secondary circuits. This fuse is haot at all times (regardless of the ignition switch position).

Battery power is supplied to Pin 1 of the horn relay. Pin one of the relay connects to both the relay coil and to the secondary main contact.

The ground for the relay coil is provided via the GREEN/BLACK wire through the horn switch. If the relay is clicking when you push the horn button, then the primary side of the horn circuit is working.

When the relay coil is grounded by the horn switch, the relay contacts come together (that's what makes the clicking sound) and supply voltage to the GREEN/WHITE wire that connects to the horn assemblies.

Check for battery voltage at the horn when the horn switch is pressed. If there is no battery voltage present, then the only thing it can possibly be is dammaged contacts in the horn relay or the GREEN/WHITE wire is broken between the relay and the horn.

If there is voltage present at the horn on the GREEN/WHITE wire, the only possibilities are bad horn assemblies or a bad body ground that is not allowing the horns to ground properly. A bad ground condition can be verified by running a jumper wire from the battery NEGATIVE post and connecting it to the mounting bolt at the horn. If this makes the horn work, then you probably need to repair your body grounds near the battery.

Would appreciate help for a Toyota Corolla 2007 non-working horn.

If the horn works with direct connection, and fuse, relay, and circuit breaker are all good, it's the switch in the steering wheel. If it is anything like the chrysler auto's, the switch and the air bag module is all one unit, can't replace just the switch, the whole thing, and it's about $700 to $800 for those units, at least it is here, and can only get them at a dealer.
