check the fuse box.

my friend bought his car a while back and his horn didnt work

so we tore it apart and stuff and we opened the fuse box and there was no fuse for the horn haha

so i'm pretty sure that should be it

Fuses should be checked before even posting.

The next most common horn failure would be from a improperly added aftermarket steering wheel

Followed by a bad CPU main board horn relay.

Basically you need to connect the corresponding horn wires to the new steering wheel. Unless you have moved your horn button/switch to somewhere else.

i've got this same problem when i bought my the car, i'd get a clicking noise when i press the horn buttons, but that's about it. i've checked all the kickpanel fuses as well and they're fine. i don't have an aftermarket steering wheel, so that doesn't apply.

at first, i thought it was my factory alarm causing it, but after 'searching', i now know that it can't be the cause. so, i'm just curious to know how i'm supposed to fix it if it was my CPU that was causing the problem.

get a new/used CPU? wouldn't a used CPU be no different than my current one?
