March 22, 200521 yr My horn makes a buzzing sound when I press it. Where is the horn relay, or how do I fix this.
March 22, 200521 yr I'd check for corrosion on the horn wire clips. I had the same basic problem. I took it off and cleaned the horn and clips. Worked just fine after that. Harbor Freight has $7 horns on occasion. Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester
March 22, 200521 yr Author Where is that. I looked under the hood, and saw a bunch of wiring, but dont know really where to look. I'd check for corrosion on the horn wire clips.

March 22, 200521 yr The horns, on my car are between the grill and the front cross member (ahead of the radiator). Just behind the plastic grill. Good Luck, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester
March 22, 200521 yr on your 88 the horns will be behind the front bumper below the headlights.. minde were weak...so i just bought a loud single new one (as compared to 2 stockers)
March 22, 200521 yr Author What exactly do they look like. I hear the buzzing sound coming from there, but all i see is a bunch of wiring. Are they easy to fix? on your 88 the horns will be behind the front bumper below the headlights.. minde were weak...so i just bought a loud single new one (as compared to 2 stockers)
February 15, 200719 yr On my '88, the horn seems to only work when it is warm outside, and even then sometimes it doesn't work. Will the fix listed above help, or do I need to try something else? Thanks, _S
February 15, 200719 yr Thanks for using the search feature The easiest way I have found to get at the horns is to remove the headlight units - four(4) 10 mm nuts behind the rad support. They can be adjusted you will see after removal a screw with a lock nut on the read. Loosen the lock nut connect 12 volts and adjust for nice tone. Ear protection helps. There is a techincal way using an ampmeter but I bet you can do it by ear. Or go to auto parts or boneyard and get a pair, splice wires on and mount them where you want. There is no horn relay by the way. They get 12V from the bat and get grounded by the horn pad on the st. wheel. Hope this helps .
February 15, 200719 yr What exactly do they look like. well, they look like the usual automotive horns... you can see them in the picture here... they're the little round things under the headlight... you can see a better look at the bottom left of this picture... hope that helps... you could also replace the horn like I did in my '82... see here... --Spiffy
