Horn help

I know this is a stupid question, but the horn on my 92 Trans Am isn't working. I am trying to figure out what is wrong and from a quick look around can't locate the horn. Can someone give me a quick description of where the actual horn would be located?

Re: Horn help

Like 57kid said, they're in the drivers side fender. On birds you'll have to pull the battery.
They're easy to diagnose. Usually the connector just gets corroded causing a bad contact. Power goes through the wire. The ground for the horn is it's mounting point to the car.
Jiggle the connectors. There are 2 horns. If you get nothing.....apply 12 volts right from the battery to the connector tabs on the horns. You could also just use a meter and check for voltage when the horn button is pressed but it can be difficult to do that without a second person. If that doesn't work you could check the ground but that's rarely the issue. Time for new horns.
There is a fuse to check.
There's also a stupid plastic plug in the steering wheel for the horns. All it is is a springloaded holder that i've actually found broken on my car.

Try that out.
