simple ?

Ok, my horn just stopped working one day. i sorta need it for my inspection wensday. so i figured it was the fuse. i looked under my dash and nothing really pops out as the horn fuse. so i was wondering what does the horn fuse say or look like what size is it. or am i just stupid and it is a obvious fuse.

Hello 87firebird305V8!!

The fuse that powers the horn is the 20 Amp ACC Fuse, there is also a "convienience center" under the dash that has the horn relay!!

Sometimes, the horn just craps out!!

Hook up a test light to the electrical connector, at the horn and push the horn button, look for the light to come on!! No light, no power!! Three possibilities, 1) Fuse, 2) Horn Relay, 3) Short in wiring/broken wire/bad ground!!

Good Luck!!
