    Horn does not work

     



    The horn in my 67 Camaro was working and now has stopped. It appears that I do not have a live connection at the horn assembly. It does have a new horn and horn relay. Can anyone Help?

    Sure it's all hooked up right? Check your relay but unplugging the wire from the actual horn, then put something metal against the horn on the wheel and then if you hear it click then you know it's not the relay for sure. DVOM would help or jumper wires and see if there is something wrong with the wire anywhere.

    If you wan't something done right, then you have to do it yourself!

    Sometimes if miswired, things such as the relay, the horn switch or column wiring can get fried. I'd double check your connections, get a test light and see where the current stops. Make sure the wiring is hooked up correctly if you replaced or respliced the connectors. Good louck.

    There is a good chance that when the new relay was installed it was not making a good ground. check where the ground attaches and make sure there is no rust or paint under the connection
