August 30, 201411 yr The horn on my 97 Impreza sedan is driving me crazy. I don't know my head from my wrench with electrical. Hoping for guidance because I am going to (gasp) pay someone to finally fix it. Bought the car and the horn didn't work. The horn has blown twice and when I take it in, they don't see a short but a dead horn. The horn also dies when it is wet out...but always comes back to life when I take it somewhere. I just want an easy fix and am thinking of rewiring everything on that circuit. Is it crazy or is there a better idea?
August 30, 201411 yr Unplug the horn and clean up the connector. Spray some PB or WD into the horn and ride around on the interstate and wail on it a couple times. Or just replace the horn. It's one bolt.
August 30, 201411 yr Author I have already replaced the horn twice. Connector's been sprayed. Any other thoughts?
August 30, 201411 yr Possibly a bad clockspring behind the steering wheel. Push the horn button while you turn the wheel back and forth. If it cuts in/out, clockspring is bad.
