your definitely a horn guy in a good way!! 👍

What a pleasant surprise when a quick search on how to fix my horn brings me an old video from one of my now favorite KZreadrs

One of the most clearly demonstrated and complete car repair videos on all of KZread. Well done.

Thank you this was the exact problem.... Had green corrosion on the contacts with the red wires that I believe they call the clock spring.... I brought it to my local garage 1 year ago and they said the clock spring was fine cause they put it on the computer.. They did not take it apart like you and I did... Because of your knowledge my horn is now working... It has taken 2.5-3.0 years to figure this out... But I guess if I were smart enough to watch your video in the first place then it would have been fixed long ago... A big shout out and thank you again, Jon in Maine

Thanks buddy. Short and to the point, but covered all major points with professional pointers.

Wow someone who goes to the point and gives clear information. Nice job.

Great video! I was shown a long time ago to use an eraser to clean electrical contacts. It removes any corrosion or tarnish (on silver plated contacts) by burnishing them without damaging them. Sandpaper can remove plating, and possibly embed silica from the paper, into the contact, damaging them.

Man, I went over wiring and removed the horn and tested it. It worked, saw your video and pulled the spring cleaned the end and it works just fine. Thanks for the vid!

No problem, glad it helped out!

For those that have done this and the horn still doesn’t work, it’s possible the multifunction switch is at fault. That was my issue. There is a small button on it that touches a ring on the steering wheel. Mine was worn down. Once I replaced the switch, it worked perfectly. However, make sure to go with a factory part on this. Otherwise the buttons wear down VERY quickly. The first one lasted a few months before it wore down (made of soft brass on the cheap ones, I believe).

Thank you for getting right into it. So tired of vids that waste time

Thank you for this! Fixed my horn issue. Tested horn by using the alarm first and worked so knew it must be at the wheel. My contact at the end of the spring had a hardened glue like substance on it that i sanded off. Also looked like the same in the slot, so wrapped a bit of sandpaper on a small screwdriver and rotated it in the slot till the contact looked clean again. Voila! Thx

Awesome to hear the video was useful to you. Thanks for dropping a comment and glad to hear you got it rectified

Thanks for the great tips. You directed me well in fixing my 2007 Silverado horn issue. I plead guilty to not disconnecting the battery or the airbags. I know that would generally be wise and a good safety measure. i do live on the edge. Nonetheless you got my problem taken care of.

Casey, thank you thank you, thank you!!!! You just saved me another trip to the mech shop where he "supposedly" had fixed it before at a cost of $132.00 pr hr. BUT, taking that center hub on the steering wheel was sooooooo easy, thanks to you!!! I wiggled around the center wire with the brass tip and it worked. When I'm back from holidays I'll see about adding a touch of soder to it to improve the contact. I suspect that's likely the problem. Again, I really appreciate your clear instructions. Invaluable.

Hey man. Thank you for this. Just inherited a 2003 chevy silverado. Had the issue inside the wheel with the spring mechanism. Pulled the cover off, cleaned lightly. Horn works like a charm.

Fixed my 04 Silverado , good info & no BS Thank you!

best part was short and to the point detailed how you remove the airbag++ hardest part some times is just getting to the part thanks

Thank you soooo much ! I am not gay. But if you were hear right now I would kiss you!! My truck will now pass inspection for the horn! And I can leave Sunday to see my daughter!! Thank you again ! No one I talk to or asked told me to try that!! Please keep putting out the videos! You are the man. It was very important I leave this Sunday so I can be there for my daughter on monday!!

I was able to fix my horn because of this video! Thank you!

Just cleaned all contacts and stretched spring a bit. Works great, thanks !

I used 400 grit sand paper on the base contacts, worked very well.

Very helpful, especially the diagnostics at the beginning.

You sure covered every step needed. Great job.

Very thorough, love it. Time to go fix mine now.

Thanks I just tried it on my 2003 Escalade I cleaned a little spring and it works

Great video you just saved me a bunch of money from buying a new horn on Amazon. Ended up having hair on that little wire behind the horn pull that off put it back together works great! Thanks for the great video

Honestly the best helpful video I’ve seen on this issue. Appreciate your time for doing this video

Great video. Thank you! For me I just wiped the contact that touches the clock spring and wala it was fixed! Thank you!

thank you for taking time to make this video , my problem was also the second most common problem , which you helped me solve thanks again!!

Great video and probably just saved me alot of money on a 5 minute job. It was the spring in the center and all I had to do was wiggle it some and magically horn started working again without taking it out.

Wow, short and sweet. Great video

Fixed my horn a 2004 chevy silverado Thank you so much

Great video. Same problem on my 2007. Hoping this fixes it.

This fixed my problem thanks!!

Thanks for the tip with the alarm.

So, it turns out mine had the exact same issue. The ground to the relay wouldn't work because the contact was worn down. I put some solder on it and it was good to go. I did get sidetracked on the wiring, found out my 2005 Sierra has dual horns. The left horn is behind the left headlight assembly just down a bit. That needs to be mentioned as both my wires on the right horn read less than 1 ohm because the left horn was still connected. My truck is fixed now. Thank you

excellent video thank you A++++++++

Hi my fuses are good and relay good.I have to push hard to to make horn work.

That bottom piece is not the clockspring. It is the turn signal cancel cam. The white part passes through the clockspring.

👍

Thumbs up 👍

PS my 03 2500 horn (very rusty) Was on the left side sandwiched between The W/W tank and radiator support Duh but the bolt did break loose

Great video. My horn only works when the steering wheel is in the 1 o'clock position. I looked at the contact with the spring, and it was clean. I did stretch the spring, to give it a little more contact. I haven't yet used sandpaper to clean the 4 other contacts. If cleaning the 4 contacts doesn't fix the issue, should I replace the clock spring? Thanks in advance

Thanks. Honestly it's hard to give you input without seeing it. This is an older video and I'm more of a Hands-On person. But yes make sure you're getting good contacts on everything. Maybe try to clean the clock spring off?

Like a lotta others have said; you sir, saved my bacon. 👍 After 313k, my 20O4 GMC horn wouldn't blow. Gave that little switch contact a quick sanding and waa laa! I can beep at the Karens again!

I did everything you mentioned here and still no horn. Everything works as you tested. The only thing I noticed is no matter where I touch the probe on the steering wheel there is no ground. Fuses and relays are working perfectly. I can get the horn with another method so it’s not the horn, just no ground in the steering wheel. Any advice? Thx

What would be the best way to test the horn and relay connection without a power probe?

@NoNonsenseKnowHow

a wire with inline fuse.

I did everything in this video and my horn still rarely works - every once in a while it will work but rarely. I dont know what else to do...maybe a ground somewhere? New horn itself? I dont know

Would that keep blowing out the horn fuse?

If all that still horn doesn't work. It could be clock spring

My white connector on the steering wheel had one of the clips broken and it won’t stay in Can it be replaced?

my horn works but it keeps blowing the fuse after a few presses of the horn do u think this is my issue 2003 chevy Silverado

Question… I redid my steering box on my 2500hd but didnt recenter the steering wheel. Lost my horn after i took a turn. I think it was the whole harness tho??

Must be the horn.. I have no steering wheel controls. Thanks

What horn is that called? I’m trying to find a horn with that specific sound to it but am unable to.

Why does mine only work in a certain position, but other positions it does not. 🤔

It was a avalanche 2003

Where is the horn located you do not explain I look for it in the truck I can not find it

Like if you saw the speedometer stuck @ 10mph👍

I love you!

Thanks!!!!
