I bought my 1998 Z71 with the horn not working, gave a little wiggle room with price, but figured I could figure it out on my own.
1.I first tried the wire jumper on the fuse panel under the hood and nothing. I even pulled the relay out and put it in our '95 cheyenne and the relay was in working order. Dad pointed out why not switch out horns and see if it is any good. Figured what the heck why not. Well horn still works...
2. Had my dad hit the horn while I was touching the relay and no clicking... put a test light on the relay terminals and on the two closest to the back, not towards the front of the truck, had power to them.
Kinda figured it is behind the steering wheel with the AIR BAG. Do not feel like messing with that and did not realize even after looking at the wiring that there are two horns...
SO long story short I decided to BYPASS with a 12v inline fused link to a HORN button and then a signal wire out to the horn inside the cab. Well it worked but only out of the PASSENGER's side horn, which sounds awful. I tied into the GREEN wire on the horn right under the hood latch assembly and then plugged it back in.
WHY CAN'T I GET SOUND OUT OF BOTH HORNS?
