Place of horn relay?

[msisido]

Hi ,I got trouble of horn.

Suddenly my horn continue to sounding.

I think its relay trouble.

But I dont know the place of horn relay.

Please tell me the place of it.

Thanking you.

We had the same problem; relay wasn't the problem. It was
actually the horn switch on the steering wheel. Take off the horn cover and you'll see two copper plates with some foam sandwiching between. The foam insolates the two copper plates. When you push the horn it compresses the foam and two copper plates touch causing circuit to close and horn blows.

In our case the foam was shot and I simply went down and bought some foam and cut small pieces up and used hot glue
to put in place. Horn works great now!

The horn relay is under the dash I believe if that doesn't work.

Thanking you for your kindly reply mr 289!!

It could also be the horns themselves. Get a friend to hold the horn button down while you get underneath with a multimeter and see if you're getting any current through. If you are, then its the horn, if not then you need to check the source

hope this helps,

The horn relay is located somewhere in the abyss of wires under your dash in the middle around where the center console meets the dash. Another way of checking if it is your horn button, is to remove the shrouds around your steering column and disconnect the plug that attatches to the slip ring behind your steering wheel. If you disconnect the plug and the horns keep blaring, then it's not the button. Good luck!

Greetings from America and Mustang Works Online!

Glad we were able to help with your horn problem.

I'm an Anime fan and I wondered if you are familiar with the anime 'Initial D'. It's about teenage road racers.

A friend obtained the series for me on VHS (via Hong Kong) as it isn't sold in the U.S.

Just curious.

Thank you for your comment Mr 5.0

I also like initial-D anime!!

That story is very interesting and the mountain
whrere they driving (named akina mountain)
is actually "haruna mountain" it's very near from
my young grouing place(sorry for poor english)
It's very famous driving road,

Thank you.

And Mr 5.0.

My younger sister had driven the AE86 car in haruna mountain
like him,

She owned the 3 AE86 car like him and often drove in there,
(But she often crushed the car in mountain Ha ha....)

I think AE86 car is in position like mustang in the america,

AE86 car is very interesting for dirive and its not
expensive for young people,So many young people
like AE86 and dirive it in hard mountain road,

But AE86 car is get old and tired ,
These days young road racers choose the nissan
240Sx not toyota AE86,

wow small world.....welcome msisido and greetings from USA

i've had the same problem with my horn ,the switch in the colume is worn out (too sencative)....well a former owner disconnected it at the relay,i can hear the relay clic, but haven't gotten around to finding the thing to fix it ......did you find the relay and if so where was it and what did it look like ?

every time sombody does somthing stupid when i'm driving i wish my horn worked (happens alot around here).....i have a new steering colume switch i just need to find the relay to reconnect it

[msisido]

Hi, Thank you for your comment mr Old Guy with 87 GT

Sorry i didnt find the place of horn relay ,,,

I just solved the problem with put in the new spacer
to the horn switch

I think it's in the somewhere under dash

Sorry

[Old Guy with 87 GT]

msisido......i got bored today helping a friend out and decided to look for the relay myself ......it was easy to find (little brown relay box next to steering colume).....unfurtunatly that wasn't where my horn was diabled at,... i'll investigate farther to see if i can find where the previos owners of my car disconnected it....thanks for the reply though.....one of these days i'll get the horn working

sticking my head out the window and yelling obsinity's doesn't seem to work as good as a horn

msisido:

Thank you for your information on the anime 'Initial D' . I knew the anime must have been based on real places and your information that it was the Haruna mountain area was interesting.

I know the AE86 was popular in Japan, much like the Mustang is in the U.S. Initial D was also very interesting as it showed how daily life is in Japan for young people in school. I had to watch a subtitled version as I don't speak Japanese but I think it was a good translation.

I noted all the cool cars they used including a 1983 Toyota Trueno, 1991 FD3S Mazda RX-7, 1991 S13 Nissan Silvia, a Nissan 180SX and a 1991 Toyota MR2. Very accurate 'car talk', too. Whoever wrote the script knew about cars, which is crucial on a anime about road racing. Takumi was a very interesting character with his aversion to racing that changed to a real desire to race - and win.

I've also watched all 51 episodes of Hana Yori Dango which was a great anime, in my opinion. I liked the characters, especially Doumiyouji, Tsukasa and Hanazawa Rui. Wonderful classical music soundtrack, too.

Thanks for your information, I appreciate it.

Your English is pretty good. As I cannot speak or write more than a word or two of Japanese, I'm impressed with your command of English, which is not an easy langauge to learn. Much like Japanese!

msisido, if you wish to communicate with me in the future, please use a PM or start a thread on the Blue Oval Lounge forum, as the Windsor Power forum is mainly for technical questions and answers and although I enjoy your posts about anime, I don't wish to misuse the forum.

Thanks again.
