Default Inspection Time! Horn Trouble... Help!!

Just recently I tried to use my horn and it didn't work. Out of the blue I had nothing. I'm not really sure why this would have happened. I have a 1993 civic D15B7 and I was wondering if anyone knew what could be wrong so I can avoid a lot of trouble shooting. When I push on the two horn buttons I hear the relay click behind the dash, but no horn. could it be a fuse (if so which one. my fuse lable panel dissapeared.) And does anyone know where the Horn Is!

could I check it just by connecting 12 V to the horn and seeing if it goes off?

If you hear the relay, that is a good thing. The problem would be in the wiring that goes from the relay to the horn. Power is not getting to the horn, or the horn is not grounded.

Yep, check the wiring to the horn from the relay. Might have broken or loosened up one of them.

put a meter on the harness at the horn end and see if you get voltage when pressing the horn buttons, if you get voltage then it is the horn...

Make sure the brake lights work, they're on the same fuse.

See if you're getting power and ground to the horns.
