Horn stopped? and brotherly war question.

Horn stopped? and brotherly war question.
So. I made the fun fun drive of SF to LA for XMAS with the family. good times had allround. temp went below minimum driving through grapevine... guess thats normal for the east coasters in winter though?
My horn stopped working... press button nothing... I read the Cruise Control is somehow connected with the horn (least I think I read when I was lurking) so it might be the horn itself? or the Horn relay?
any advice would be much helpful
also. could my 94 SE give my brothers 07 Altima a run for his money? :P apparently our cars have the same HP. but no doubt he has a much faster 0-60 than I do

on an SRS equipped car, it uses a ribbon of wires wrapped up so that it always stays connected no matter how far the wheel is turned. Those wires do break over time, so if your only problems are the cruise buttons on the wheel and horn not working (should get an airbag light too) then it is probably that cable that has failed. The FSM calls it a spiral wound cable, while the aftermarket calls it a clock spring.

actually in order:
Horn fuse
Horn itself
horn relay
steering wheel

I am not sure if youur brother's Altima would beat the Max. I am guessing it would. Newer Nissans use more aluminum and other lightweight materials all over, espcially in the body. They have advanced variable timing, more modern fuel delivery, ignition, and engine management systems and are able to reach higher rpms faster. Better transmissions, better gearing, less power loss in the drivetrain. If you decide to find out TAKE IT TO THE TRACK!

i have doubts that a 14-5 year old car will beat a car that is less than 2. especially considering that the older car may not be at its peak performance.
not saying the max will lose, but I wouldn't be too sure.

actually it was 3 engines that came for the 07 altima my bad the stats above were from the 97 altima

I fixed it. took off the griill and some blockhead previous owner fixed it before (i guess?) and the wires were once cut... and they were just twisted back. soldered and heatshrunk. back in business
though 1 cable to going to 1 of the horns was also broken so only 1 tinny horn :P
my brother tells me he has 190HP as well.. probably not going to the track since we're not THAT competitive. it's all in good fun.
