INTRODUCTION
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAG, SEE GROUP 8M, PASSIVE RESTRAINT SYS-
TEMS FOR STEERING WHEEL REMOVAL.
The horn circuit consists of a horn switch, horn
relay, and horn. The horn circuit feed is from the fuse
to the horn relay in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC). The PDC is mounted on the battery tray.
When the horn switch is depressed, it completes the
ground circuit. The horn relay coil closes contacts
and allows current to flow to the horn. The horn is
grounded to the headlamp ground connection (Fig. 1).
HORN SWITCH
The horn switch is mounted between the outer and
inner cover of the Driver Airbag Module (Fig. 2).
When the Driver Airbag is pressed the horn switch
makes contact to ground. The ground signal is car-
ried to the horn relay and the horn sounds.
(1) The horn switch grounds to the airbag housing.
(2) If horn does not sound check for corrosion:
²Horn wire
²Horn switch ground connected to airbag metal
housing
²Airbag to steering wheel
²Ensure horn wire is properly connected and
insulator is in place on wire
(3) Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams if wire
circuit needs to be repaired.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
HORN
(1) Disconnect wire connector at horn.
(2) Using a voltmeter, connect one lead to ground
terminal and the other lead to the positive wire ter-
minal (Fig. 3).
(3) Depress the horn switch, battery voltage
should be present.
(4) If no voltage, refer to Horn System Test. If volt-
age is OK, go to Step 5.
(5) Using ohmmeter, test ground wire for continu-
ity to ground.
(6) If no ground repair as necessary.
(7) If wires test OK and horn does not sound,
replace horn.
HORN RELAY
(1) Remove horn relay from Power Distrubution
Center (PDC).
(2) Using ohmmeter, test for continuity between
ground and circuit 65 of horn relay.
(a) When the horn switch is not depressed, no
continuity should be present.
(b) Continuity to ground when horn switch is
depressed.
(c) If continuity is not correct repair horn switch
or wiring as necessary, refer to Group 8W, Wiring
Diagrams.
(3) Insert a jumper wire between circuit 63 and 66
of the Power Distribution Center.
(a) If horn sounds replace relay.
(b) If the horn does not sound, install horn relay
and refer to Horn Test.
(4) Using voltmeter, test voltage at:(a) Circuit 62 and 66 test for battery voltage
from fuse C to body ground.
(b) If voltage is incorrect repair as necessary.
Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams.
(5) Check relay for 70 to 75 ohms resistance from
terminal 85 to 86 (Fig. 4). If resistance not OK,
replace relay.
HORN SWITCH
(1) Remove horn relay from the Power Distribution
Center.
(2) Using ohmmeter, connect one lead to ground
and the other lead to cavity 65 of the power distribu-
tion center. Refer to Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams.
(3) Depress horn switch, should have continuity. If
no continuity go to Step 4.
(4) Test continuity at horn switch, remove the
Driver Airbag Module. Refer to Driver Airbag Module
Removal and Installation procedures.
(5) Using ohmmeter, connect one lead to the airbag
module ground and the other lead to B+ wire. Refer
to Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams and (Fig. 3).
(6) Depress horn switch, and the meter should
show continuity. If no continuity, replace the Driver
Airbag Module. If OK, repair as necessary.
HORN SYSTEM TEST
Refer to Horn System Test table. If the horn does
not sound, check the horn fuse located in the Power
Distribution Center. If the fuse is blown, replace with
the correct fuse. If the horn fails to sound and the
new fuse blows when depressing the horn switch, a
short circuit in the horn or the horn wiring between
the fuse terminal and the horn is responsible, or a
defective horn switch allowed the horn to burn out is
responsible.
(1) If the fuse is OK, test horn relay. Refer to Horn
Relay Test.
(2) If the relay is OK, test horn. Refer to Horn
Test.
CAUTION: Continuous sounding of horn will cause
horn to fail.
