Horn don't work??????

My friends horn does not work. As he tries to honk, I can hear "clicking" coming from the relay in the fuse box. I swapped relays with the AC Compressor but same thing, only clicking. Any idea what it could be?

You can figure it out with a multimeter pretty easily. What is getting power? Does power reach the horn? If so and the ground is good, you have a bad horn. No power to the horn? Where does the power stop?

Just use the same formula you would on any bad circuit to trace back to the fault.

Get something obnoxious to wire in instead of the horn. Like one of those little noise makers from the 80s heavily amplified.

This belongs in the electrical section.

That depends. What kind of car are you working on?

Info like that helps

Front bumper in front of the passenger tire.

if you take off the passenger headlight its right under it. its a pain in the ass to get to but taking off that headlight is the easiest way to get to it without taking off the front bumper.

use a meter to test the wires going to the horn as he presses ot, if you get voltage the horn is bad, if you dont theres a fuse blown since you eliminated the relay already

I actually thought the horn was relatively easy to get at, and remove. I've encountered much harder things so far when working on this car.

on mine i had to bend my arm in all sorts of ways to get to the harness and plug it in... the bolt that holds it in place is easy to get to tho

I wasn't trying to be a dick, but you had said it was a friends car.
