Four cylinder front wheel drive automatic 120,000 miles.

Hello, my car's horn does not work. Now, I looked in the fuse fox for the relay and only found two (one for the bulbs, and one for the rear defroster) I tested both in the multi meter and they were fine. For what I read in the book the relay comes out of the cruise control box, and then goes to a cable reel and after that from a wire comes the horn relay. Now, where is it? Is it in the steering wheel? Never seen that in a car. If you could guide me to it so that I can take it out and test it that would be awesome. Thanks in advance for any help regarding this problem! Thanks for taking the time to answer guys!

The horn relay is located under the dash on the drivers side. Here is two guides to help you check the relay, fuses and wiring of the system along with the horn wiring, location and fuse panel diagrams (Below)

Please run some simple tests to find where you are losing power or if the horn itself is bad.

Locate the horn at the front of the vehicle, remove the connector and test for power and ground while the key is in the run position and a helper is pressing down on the horn button.

If you have power and ground, the horn itself is faulty. If you get no signal you'll have to further diagnose as to why.

The cluster won't cause the horn/signals to not function.

You may have some blown fuses, or faulty switches.

You need to remove the front bumper to get at it-
