eddie6937 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 My horn makes a buzzing sound when I press it. Where is the horn relay, or how do I fix this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie6937 Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 Where is that. I looked under the hood, and saw a bunch of wiring, but dont know really where to look.

Sweet82 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie6937 Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skraft Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 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 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiffy Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
