Question
QUESTION: Horn is not working.  Replaced fused under hood and is still not working.  What else could be wrong with it?

ANSWER: Hi Shelley,

Could be the horn itself, relay, or switch.

Have someone press the horn switch on the steering wheel. Listen at the relay (should be under the hood where the fuse is). If there is clicking, then it is probably the horn. Most of the time it is located behind the grille. If there is no clicking, then the horn switch is defective on the steering wheel.

Hope this helps -

QUESTION: It sounds like it's the horn switch.  What do I need to do to fix this now?  Do I need a new relay?

Answer
Hi Shelley -

The relay should be still OK. Those normally do not go out.

The horn switch is part of the steering wheel, and I think only the dealer would carry this. It is removed from the rear of the steering wheel, usually a couple philips screws. One wire attachment to the contact switch.

Hope this helps -
