Horn: Description and Operation

Horn


On vehicles equipped with an airbag, refer to General Information for safety precautions. Disconnect the negative cable, refer to => [ Headlamp ] Headlamp before servicing components involving the airbag system. Accidental deployment of airbag and personal injury can result.

The horn circuit consists of a horn switch, clockspring, horn relay, horns and totally integrated power module. The horn switch is a membrane switch located in the airbag trim cover. The horns are located forward of the left front wheel behind the bumper fascia.

The horn relay plugs into the TIPM which is located in the engine compartment.

The horns will not function if the switch is "CLOSED" for more than 30 seconds. Once the switch is "OPEN", a 20 to 30 second delay will occur before the horns are functional again.
