Default Horn Relay? Do our cars even use one?

Have searched.

The problem: 89 CRX Si, no horn, fuses are fine-- horns beep with a voltage but with the horn button I get nothing

Before I go tracing the wires, I'd like to know if there is a horn relay somewhere in the fusebox. Where is it? Do our cars even have one? TIA homies

I'd say they would because most EF's (well all 4 of mine did) run 2 horns, and you wouldn't run all that current through the wussy little horn button contact from the wheel to the steering column. Check for a broken horn contact behind the steering wheel but other than that I can't help ya.

The wire is a negaqtive trigger in the switch/button. When that wire sees "ground", the horn sounds.

I don't think the 88-91 chasis uses a relay. I have been wrong though....

Nope, they dont have a horn relay. Do your brake lights work, they use the same fuse.
