Default Question about the horn

My horn quit working and it seems that the switch in the steering wheel is bad because im not getting power to the horns. But all my relays and fuses check out ok. How could i check the switch in the steering wheel?

Your airbag light should be blinking too if the clockspring is bad.

The quickest way to check the horn switch is to take off the airbag and simply ground the horn switch wire.Takes 5 minutes if your'e slow.

Be very careful if you do that though, because you run the risk of blowing the bag. I've seen it happen a few times. If you play around with the airbag or clockspring at all, pop out the airbag fuse and let it sit 15-20 minutes bfore doing so.
