alright so all of a sudden my horn wasnt working one day... i knew because my stock alarm horn didnt sound when i locked it...i checked my fuses and their not blown...when you press the horn button you could hear the relay clicking so its not the relay....what do you think its is....

 

by the way i have a 99ex coupe

 

sure its plugged in?

 

yeah

 

unplug the horn and test for voltage at the horn when the button is pressed..... simple trouble shooting

If voltage at the horn, the horn is probably dead. I'm assuming the stock horn is just your average compression driver horn of sorts?

 

same problem here and basically all u need is a new horn

 

ya mine has been this way for a long time now too. i can hear the clicking under the steering column but the horn doesnt work. it works once a month, for 10 seconds, lol. then it sorta has to recharge. i sorta wanna get those loud ones at autozone and hook those babies up. anyone got those?

I thought that if it clicks, that means the relay is bad...?

I've got the Hella Supertones. Awesome horn. Insallation was very easy. Splice the wire going to the horn, run a wire for ground for the two hellas, then mount them both to the stock location with the stock bolt. Took me about 1/2 hour to do, just because I'm all crazy about wiring properly.

Relays click when they switch. That means it's working / getting power. Check to see if you have voltage at the horn, and you'll be able to tell if the horn is working or not.

So then could I wire a horn from like a Crown Vic to my car. The stock civic horn is pretty weak, and doesn't do much to get people's attention. I've been thinking for a while that a horn from another car would help a lot.

If they're switched / powered the same, then yes it'll bolt right up. If not, you may have to throw in a relay or something.

 

Cool, thanks.
