well i just put my new hella horns on and the horns worked great till about 30 minutes ago. i went to lock my car and nothing. all the wires are correct fuses good. relays? i here a clicking but not "dute" does anyone know how to fix it thanxs andrew

 

Do you have power to the horn? If you don't have a meter take the horn and hook right to the battery. If this does not work you blew the horn.

If it works it has to be a fuse or wire.

Check your ground point to make sure it has a good connection.

 

i checked all of that and the horns work. the wires i cant see them there all taped up from factory and fuse i checked it its on the drivers side fuse box it was the only one i found but the fuse is good.

 

Are you using a relay? If not I assume you have the hot stock wire to activate the horn. Take a meter or testlight and hook one end to the stock hot wire and the other to a good ground. Then you depress the horn you should get 12V. Sounds like this is not working for you. If this is the case, double check all the fuses or you have to do some wire searching for breaks.

(and I used to hang out in levittown and such back in the day!)

 

hey yea like i said it was working and then nothing. i just dont get it i dont have a clue how the relays work to see if one of them went but like i said it did work now it dont. i even hooked up the old ones nothing. i must say i have the crapest luck in the world first o2 sensors not clearing due to a fuse now horns not a good thing when ill be taking the car back to ny in 2 mths man i need these things lol. yea levittown isnt far 20 min my driving nice town.

 

hey dud i just use a test light and hook it str8 to the horn wireand honk it if it dont lite up check the fuse and if that dont work check the relay--after that u need to get the wiring diagram and start checkin stuff in that circuit

 

sounds like fun lol how do i check the relay not to sure how one works. also i will be taking my car to nissan tomorrow for some tranny work do u think it would be wise to ask them. or do u think they will rape me on the price? i just want it to work and i have no clue what happened. the only thing that i didnt check cause i dont know how is the relay. also if it is a relay how much do u think one is? do u think nissan will help me being the horns are after market i could put the old ones on but its kinda of a pain in the neck and if i dont have to i wont but if its in my best interest especially if with the oem ones it will be warenty i will thanxs.

 

I doubt if the horn is blown....I've never heard of that happening.

My bet is that the ground wire from one or both the horns is not making a good connection. Try different grounding spots. I've seen it happen that even though the ground wire is securely fastened the horn doesn't work. I'm assuming that you've grounded each horn seperately.

 

You know, there is a way to set your key fob to lock the car w/out the horn going off. I don't remember exactly, but it involves pressing and holding the buttons for several seconds (it's on the back of the fob or in the manual). All it takes is a pair of tight jeans with the keys in your pocket and you could be off on a wild goose chase. Just a thought.

 

Horn Broke, watch for finger, LOL

seriously, a relay is cheap

 

The Kid - It may be the key fob thing.....Did you check to see if the horn works when you hit the steering wheel as opposed to just locking the car?

 

I thought so based on this...

 

Gotta be the key fob setting then.....

 

check the connections again. Mine didn't work and found out connection was loose

 

i thought it way have been the key fob but it didnt work from in the car as well. this morning i put the old horns on and they worked so i think like some of u had sayed its the negative. but would both not work at the same time i put both negatives to the same spot i guess that did it. i dont know ill use all youre info and when i get my car back hopefully next weekend i will try again. but i didnt evan think of the negative cause it was really tight. maybe the both cant be together? idk but i will try and thanx u very much for all youre info.
