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!!

Yep, proper ground is important. Can also test the horns by connecting them straight to the battery. Possibly could be the relay as well. It should be one of those three things though.
