Hey everyone..i did a search for "horn" and read about just rechecking the fuses. I checked the fuse under the hood, and 2 fuses that were recommended to check under the dash. Fuses look ok. If i push on the horn button...i only here a quiet clicking..but no BEEP. Anybody know what it may be? Thanks in Advance

Sounds like the problem is at the horn itself. Clicking should be the horn relay. It may be that the relay is bad, but power is flowing into the relay and it is switching. Whether the juice is flowing out is another story.

ive got the same problem... its gonna be fixed on monday so if u pm i will remember to let u know whats up .. it makes the clicking noize yet it doenst want to sound..
i have same problem , but i got no clicking noise. mine works wen its parked outside wen its really hot outside. it works for a lil bit then stops working. where is the horn relay?
Im calling a misgrounded wire. I had the same problem about a year ago when I bought my car. I forget what i did but one of the wires wasn't grounded properly and I fixed it and my horn worked. It was pure luck.

did your cruise not work either before you found this missing ground??? if so, let me know..........thanks
as for your horn.....if it's clicking, the relay is probably working fine, other than that, probably some grounds somewhere......

passenger side, inside the lower portion of the front bumper, near the radiator. It is a black circle you can't really miss it.
my horn spontaniously failed after a bad rain storm. One day it worked, one day it didnt. As far as i know any honda hord as far back as 87 will plug in, and bolt on in the same place. I have been running with an 88civic horn for about 4 years now from a junk yard. Its probably the horn itself.
Good luck

Cruise control and the horn ground are unrelated. If the horn relay (by the under dash fuse block) works, then the cruise should too, since it is branched just before the horn switch

Have you figured out your horn problem yet? Disconnect the connector going directly to the horn. Get a test light a probe one end to each wire/ terminal at the connector. Have someone press the horn button at the steering wheel. If the test light illuminates than your horn is bad and the whole circuit to the horn is functioning. If the test light doesn't illuminate than the problem is somewhere else in the circuit. Good Luck
