why doesn't my horn work? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

i put on my sparco wheel and hooked up the horn but it didnt work, so i put the stock one back on and it still doesnt work. checked the fuse and i made sure i got the wheel on far enough to hit the brass pins on the column, but i can't figure out why it won't work at all now. by the way its a 93. what else should i check?

Fuse, relay, or the horn itself.

wheres the relay? i looked in the engine bay and the fuse was good but i couldnt find the relay.

The relay is under the hood, its the black box towards the front on the drivers side.

did you make sure the clockspring was straight when you put the wheel on? maybe you didn't and it wasn't allowed enough room to turn. in that case, the wires snapped inside of it.

its on my s13 and i dont think i have a clock spring. anyway i looked on the driver side and there was no label for a horn on those, damm and the relays on the fuse box on the pass. side dont have a horn label. i bought a multimeter but the directions dont say how to check stuff. im gonna mess w/ it a little more to get it to work but for reference its a sparco mugello wheel

Did your car originally have cruise? If so, the hub ring won't line up right.

yeah it does have cruise, its hard to get a good look to see if the ring contacts the horn pin or not but if its not how should i fix it?
