I bought my car less than 2 months ago, when i bought it the horn used to work, then after a week it started having problems, it used to work one day, then the next day didnt work, then it just stoped working at all, also when the horn stoped working the SRS light went on...i already checked this forum and i know there are some people with the same problem but none of those threads helped me fix the problem, the horn works because i took it out and checked it in the battery and it worked, already checked the fuses and they are alright none of them are blown, anyone know anything about this? thank you

 

The horn wire and the SRS wire are both in the yellow harness that goes to your steering column. The harness or loom may have become disconnected, corroded, or damaged.

 

and how do i get there without deploying the airbag

 

First go down to the clinic and sell some blood. Then go down to the parts store and buy the Haynes manual. That's something you should have done before registering a screen name on HT. Read that ****. No one reads it. In there it's got all the little pictures and **** you're looking for. Basically, there's a little plastic cover behind the wheel. Inside is a jumper connector that will prevent the airbag from deploying.

Are you sure you checked the SRS fuse with the yellow cap on it?

 

my guess is that its your clock spring. if the air bag light and horn do not work.

clock spring is basically a round piece of metal (almost like a big c-clip) that allows an electrical contact between the column and steering wheel while still allowing you to turn the wheel.

not sure exactly if yours works like my rex, but definately check that out. pull of the cover that is over the column, and look between the steering wheel and the end of the column. you should see it there. there is also a metal contact on the column. check that out and then let us know.

SRS fuse with the yellow cap on it? the one i checked was a red one "10"......i checked them where all the fuses are under the wheel.....IMA try what both of you told me.....but if i **** the airbag up its all your fault...J/K

 

simplest way to prevent your airbag from deploying is to disconnect the negative battery terminal

 

If he has a 92-95 like in his avatar, there is no "clock spring" on the steering wheel.

Most people seem to refer to the cable reel as the clock spring.

 

Yes, it is a 92-95 DX

 

yo.....so if i disconnect the negative from the battery it wont deploy?

 

there are like 5 yellow harnesses, i checked them all, i THINK they are alright.....one is behind the wheel, there are like 4 more down by the fuses, two of those are going where the fuses are and one big one is going to the wheel....any ideas?????????

 

It will be the flat set of wires coming off of this, it runs under the column to this plug, as a matter of fact, the horn is wire circled....

 

damn thanks a lot man.....i really appreciate that......IMA try that and see......but just in advance what if it is plugged and everything?????

 

Did you check the fuses under the hood, or in the cabin? Under the hood check fuse No. 42, it is a 20A.

 

i checked the ones under the wheel.....ima check the ones under the hood

 

i juss checked them...they are alright

 

alright the horn is working now the problem was that the two buttons in the wheel were disconected it was all but the SRS still on

 

any one?????

 

is the srs light still on?

 

yes...like i said....the horn is working now....it wus just that the two buttons on the wheel were disconected but the SRS lights still on.....
