Horn Question

Whenever I Touch the wire to the wheel or metal it doesn't honk it just clicks. Now I know that the horn itself works I just can't get it to work inside the car. So what do you think is wrong with it?

What you are hearing is the horn relay working. One or more of the wires going directly to the horn from the relay is(are) bad. Either the wire from the relay to the horn or the other wire going to the horn.

Use this schmatic for a reference(might not be exact but give you an idea:

The schematic might not be your exact year/model, so it might differ slightly.

The horn is located inside the front driver's side fender.


Or your horn could be bad.

my bet is your relay, sawp it with another one for test purposes and if the horn works then theres your prob. if not dive into the wires. just because the relay clicks dosnt mean its good.
