Hello all,
Been searching here for a couple of days and keep seeing that the "horn relay is in the tray next to the batter". It is not! Unless somebody replaced the lid with a different that does not list a horn relay on the diagram. Even went to the library and looked thru the Alldata manuals for Dodge Ram vans and it says relay is in the tray but then they had a totally wrong looking diagram of hte fuse block so maybe they had the manual mixed up. Could it be one of the relays on the fuse panel by the driver's side door? Can someone help me out - I didn't think this would be so hard. Chasing down a "no power to horn" and wanted to try the cheap thing before the expensive thing (clockspring).
Thanks in advance.

 

In my 2000 both the fuse and relay are in the driver's door fuse panel. The 20-amp fuse is the bottom right one, and the relay is the second one down from the four independent fuses. It's half the size of the bottom two.

 

Thank you - will check it tonite. I have the Autozone horn relay which claims to be the same as AC delco d1737c and Airtex / wells 1r1061. It's funny that I've never seen such an overwhelming body of material which was wrong in my life, ie, that the horn relay is under the hood in the tray for a 2001 Ram van. I wonder if there are just alot of years where it is in there and that is the source of the confusion.

 

Those kind of mistakes are very easy to make. Component locations can changed throughout model years and people can also confuse different vehicles that they own.

 

You're totally right and then there is the mixup that can happen between Ram pickup and Ram van - sometimes you look at a forum and it's hard to tell which vehicle it is talking about. And I always thought Alldata was like the holy grail of automotive knowledge but when I saw that clearly wrong diagram of the fuse block last night it suprised me alot.

 

Nope, the Holy Grail is owning a factory service manual set for your exact vehicle.
