'97 Cav - Horn won't work
Thursday, August 13, 2009 9:21 PM
Ok. Here's the deal. I own a '97 Cav, and just last year the horn decided to quit working. I moved out of state, last year, and returned in May. After a night on the trickle charger, it fired right up as though I took it with me. now here's the delima. I need to try to fix my horn myself to keep my repair costs down.
Here's what's up. Whenever I go to press on the horn, all I hear is a click above the passengers floorboard, and i don't hear a noise from under the hood.
If anyone is able to help, i'd greatly GREATLY appreciate it

my horn quit workin awhile back. i hear a click but its just a relay or some shat. go to local junk yard(i did) and pull another one. its located on passanger side behind bumper cover. should be able to get to it from looking underneath car. if horn dont work take it back and get another. they shouldn't charge ya for exchanging it.

^^^^Yep. If you just hear a "click", 99% of the time, it just needs a new horn.

Super easy to swap it out.

new horns can be had for $15 from your local parts store. why chance a used one from a junker?

if it doesn't work at all try your CIG fuse on 97s the horns wired in that fuse

Also check where the horn is bolted to the frame and make sure it is not all rusted up under the mount. No ground no horn....
