Default RSX.....WHAT IS TYHIS ALL ABOOT???

Hello there!!!
So, my brother has a 2002 RSX and we have been running into a problem. EVERYTHING exept the horn works. I was thinking that it could have something to do with a fried ECU. We checked all of the fuses, and they all seem to be intact. The first thing that we tried was to pop-start it....NOTHING. Any advise on what the hell is going on??? Maybe IGNITION FUSE??? We have absolutly no idea what is going on with this car. Like I said, I think it is a fired ECU. What do you guys think???? Thanks for the help!!!

Pop starting your horn is dangerous.

WTF are you trying to say?

If you want help, try asking in a coherent way.

Hehe, pesky immobilizer...

I don't understand why you think it's the ecu. Is it chipped? Did you try hooking up a battery directly to the horn?

If the horn is not working and you have checked all the fuses, then take the airbag off the steering wheel and check to see if the horn clip is connected to the horn wire.

I don't understand the whole check the ECU because of the horn not working. I would start by making sure everything is connected related to the horn. Then move on from there.
