Horn don't work!

[mwrobe1]

Wow...my first real problem with my Rio. The horn don't work. I popped open the fuse box cover and noticed that the horn relay is clicking when I try to beep it. Is this just a bad relay? Got 8,500 miles...this isn't considered a wear and tear item is it? At any rate...I'll be making a trip to the dealer on Monday.

is there a fuse for the horn? my jeep has a fuse and a relay, and i have blown 2 fuses but i can find my relay.

UPDATE

I just went for a trip to Wally World...it worked when I first started the the car up...then after coming out of the parking lot of WW it didn't...it must be the relay.

UPDATE

The problem seems to have corrected itself...the horn works now...and all I did was pull out the relay and put it back in!

how did you go about pulling the relay out, i have the sam car and my horn stopped working the other day, ive checked the fuses and nothing, similar to you when i hit the horn i hear a clicking in the fuse box

I had the same problem with my relays. Horn, dash lites/tail lites, & air cond. I replaced 2 relays and cleaned the old ones with electric contact cleaner, checked them w/volt, ohm meter ect. Not sure but I think its from bad contacts on the pins. As far as how do you remove the relays same as a fuse only 4 pins. Tip if your dash lites go out more than likely you don't have tail lites.

the horn in rio r adjusable tone by turning the nut on top of the horn, however, if u turn too far, the horn wont sound. i'd tried 2 lower the tone of my horn since stock sound too funny to me, and i turn the nut a bit too loosen, so the horn sound worked sometime, but most of time i only get that relay clicking sound. so u may wana check out if the nut's loosen on the horn. and btw, since the horn suck so much dat i cant even hear my own horn when i have music on......i swap it into a pair of air horn
