Horn: Testing and Inspection






HORN

For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information.

1. Disconnect the wire harness connectors from the horn connector receptacles. Measure the resistance between the ground circuit cavity of the horns wire harness connectors and a good ground. There should be continuity. If OK, go to 2. If not OK, repair the open ground circuit to ground as required.
2. Check for battery voltage at the horn relay output circuit cavity of the horns wire harness connectors. There should be zero volts. If OK, go to 3. If not OK, repair the shorted horn relay output circuit or replace the faulty horn relay as required.
3. Depress the horn switch. There should now be battery voltage at the horn relay output circuit cavity of the horns wire harness connectors. If OK, replace the faulty horns. If not OK, repair the open horn relay output circuit to the horn relay as required.
