So i picked up a 1996 celica to flip about 2 years ago, and someone ended up stealing the convertible top while it was in the auction lot. mad.gif

So it sat around for a while, upuntil about 3 months ago I got a parts car with a good top and swapped it on. The car had alot of issues and im down to one of the final ones, the horn.

In Virginia a horn is mandatory for state inspection, which is the last thing i need before I can sell it.

Here is a video of my sistuation with the horn:

If my accent was to heavy to understand, this is the written version:

I have replaced the fuse and the relay and still nothing. I do hear a little click from the relay when pressing on the horn. I looked around trying to find the horn, and I kind of found 2 horn looking things. On the parts car there was a horn on the top passenger side by the radiator, with just one wire, replaced that on my project car, and still nothing.

While looking around, I saw something else that looked like a horn, on the driver lower side mounted on by a 12mm bolt. This one had two wires. Grabbed it from the parts car and plugged it up. I took both the original and tried to just hook them straight to the battery, all I got from that was just a spark from the terminals where I put the wires next too. Isnt this a way to test the horn?


I would appreciate any help guys!!

If you were refering to the horn looking thing up top, near the radiator on the passenger side; I just ran out and tried to wrap a wire around the bracket of the horn and tried to plug it up to the battery and got nothing again.

I then tried using some sandpaper where the screw mounts up to shave off the paint and have some metal show. then I plugged it up again and mounted it propperly, and I got nothing again.

Where do I go from here?
