Default horn doesnt work

hey i have a 91 acura integra gs. The horn doesnt work at all. I changed teh fuse under the hood and still not working... I was wondering what my next step should be?? I'm planning on taking a look at the horn itself but i was wondering how to get at it. I kno its on the bumper but does the whole bumper have to come off in order to change it?

Exactly. And check the horn itself to make sure it's still good.

On my EJ1 it does. Well, it doens't need to, but it makes things a whole lot easier. I would just remove it, things will be a lot easier that way.

I have a g2 as well. Is your steering wheel stock? It'll be easier to check your steering wheel first before you take out your bumper.

Take your steering wheel out and see if that plastic black ring has all its leads and if there in good condition.

since you're gonna fix the horn,
time to upgrade your horn, to something that'll blast
imo, stock horns are kinda weak

and get a horn that plays mariachi music, lol

ARe you trying to remove the steering wheel? No you do not have to remove the dashboard. ONce you removed the acura piece cover out, you need to unscrew the bolt thats in the middle. YOu see it? ONce you unscrewed it out hit me up I'll tell you what to do next.

Yes I'm a noob but I took my wheel out alot.

Check the wiring because the horn doesn't just go out like that.
