Horn no longer working? 00'' si.
I've checked all the fuses, all are good.
No wires found disconnected.
Something must of caused it. My head is hurting.
Anyone have any suggestions on what else to check, i dont want to take it to the honda dealer and get charged for 80 bucks for diagnostic.
This suck, I want my HORN back!!!!!!!!!

Re: (Andres-eh2)
I dont' know if what your calling is a test light, but i used a device that can read voltages via light reading. All fuses read OK with it.

Re: (klomast3r)
it is possible that your clock spring went bad or the wire under the airbag came loose ... or even a bad horn .. a test light will help you diagnoss the problem further

Does it get power and ground to the horn?

This happened to me 2 weeks ago.
1. Check your horn fuse in the fuse box. Replace if broken. If intact, continue below.
2. Take off your front bumper.
3. Remove electrical connector from horn and connect the horn's electrical power connector with the battery's positive terminal with wire.
3. If horn doesn't sound, it's broken. Drive to autozone/aid auto/pep boys and spend $12 on a new generic one. Remove old horn, install new one following box instructions. Done.
4. If horn sounds, it's time to check your wiring. I didn't have to go this far. I've had zero electrical issues with my car in 5 years so I will assume your horn simply crapped out. But I can't help you with this step - I didn't have to go this far.
Good luck.
This is also a great time to install a dual tone horn and beef up the import fisher price horn.

Check it at the horn.

Re: (Chiovnidca)
Jonas99, I can relate. so i will give what u suggested a try.
that dual horn setup is what i wanted to ask later on. But u answered it.
Now If only you can explain how to set it up. What horn do u recommend and where to buy it from?

Re: (klomast3r)
I actually just bought the single horn from aid auto stores. They had a "low tone" and "high tone" and I assumed the "high tone" was like our fisher price horn, and the low one would be like on bigger cars, but I was wrong. It's just as pathetic, but it works. I don't know the install on the dual one, but I assume you'd just splice the power wire and ground both horns.
I bought the generic $11 horn replacement. It came with just a horn.
You will need the following:
Tools: 10mm socket, 12mm socket, screwdriver, wire crimper/cutter/splicer, (1) wire connector (2 ends, crimp the middle to form a connection between wires), (1) female connector, medium size (check the horn's connector for sizing), 6" of electrical wire
Install for the $11 replacement horn was as follows:
1. Disconnect battery for safety. Remove bumper cover.
2. Take male connector (carries power from battery) out of female end (attached to horn)
3. Remove horn. This is a single bolt in plain sight (10 or 12mm, can't remember). Throw away stock horn. Keep the bolt, you will need it.
4. Cut wires to male connector off very close to the connector.
5. Connect 6" wire with female quick disconnect at one end, and the wire connector at the other.
6. Attach open end of wire connector to the piece left from the power cable in step 4.
7. Bolt new horn in the stock location using the bolt you saved in step 3.
8. Attach female quick disconnect to new horn.
9. Reattach battery and *beep-beep...yeah...beep-beep.*
You can attach all the wiring and the horn in whatever steps you'd like, it's pretty straightforward. Use shrink tubing if you have it for added safety and longer wire life, but I just wrapped mine in electrical tape. Good luck!
PM me if you need any help.
