Hey all,
Horns is not working. It appears that the horn button works because I can hear the relay click. I've bench tested the horns, they work. I've replaced the relay even tho the other one seemed to work. I've cleaned the earths/grounds front right side of the car. Fuses 7&14 are good and have power to them. I would REALLY like to get these horns to work.
Totally Stumped,

Phillip

You need to check at each stage of the circuit, and you've done most of this.

Hearing the relay click does not, however, mean that it's doing what it is supposed to do. If you have not checked the relay itself, or substituted another known to be good. That's the first thing I'd try at this juncture.

I used a power probe to send power through purple/yellow wires to the horns.. They worked. There is a purple/brown tracer located in the middle of the relay that has no power to it at all. I'm assuming that this is the main power source for the relay.
