Help ! Horn problem & Location ??

Post by Nickname »

My horn is not working, when I hit on the horn, I only can hear the relay "Click" sound under the bonnet near the fuel box, but I can't find where is the horn, so I can't check it's the problem of the relay or really the horn's problem and get replacement.

Anybody here have the same problem before or who able to tell me where can I find the relay & the horn under the bonnet? Thanks all you guys!!

It possibly sounds like a fuse.
I don't think that click is meant to be there when you actually hit the horn. From memory there is actually a specific fuse for the horn.

But I can't remember in which location it is inside, or in the engine bay...

Well, if you can't find it, check the manuals:

Well, I think, the horn is located possibly on the drivers side, near the fron bar, I think it's pretty well hidden, like a small round UFO thingo, sorry couldn't be more of a help :?

I found the horn! I found the horn! :D

As I was intalling my CAI, and had to take off my front bumper. If you guys have pre-face-lifted FTO's, then the horn is directly behind the fog lights... There are two, and they areon both sides of the car, so you have to take both the fog lights lights out.

But, consider this... it migth be easier to buy those air horns and intall them... :roll:

1st... Check the wire connections, to the horn, i'm thinking the plug that goes onto the horn might not be connected.
