Think I fried my horn.
I was tinkerin' around with the truck earlier. Decided to put on the factory steering wheel that I bought on ebay last winter.My wheel was cracked pretty bad. The old wheel came off easy, installed the new one, put in all the pieces to the horn button and now it doesn't work. I should mention it worked fine before I started all this. Now I can hear the relay click, but that's all. I pulled the wire off the horn itself and ran a test light directly to the battery.It's getting voltage but no sound.

Re: Think I fried my horn.
take your horn off the radiator support then clean that area where it bolts to with 80grit sandpaper also the horn bracket so both are shiney metal where the horn mounts to rad support is your ground for the horns,also clean the wire contacts on the horn and wire going to horn spray a bit of wd40 into the horn cone reassemble and make sure youve got a good ground from the radiator support to the frame test to see if that helps

Re: Think I fried my horn.
Also, be sure and clean and polish the metal ring that makes contact with the horn button on the steering wheel. The one that flexes when you push on the horn. I've had them do the same and basically there just wasn't enough voltage going through for the horn to work properly...

Re: Think I fried my horn.
cdowns: I'll try your idea.
68gmsee: I cleaned that part up with steel wool when I had the old wheel off.It didn't look too crudded up, but figured why not clean it up? Thanks for the help guys.
