have a 2001 cavy and i am trying to get my horn working. Where is the actual horn located under the hood, and how can you test to see if it is bad. And does anyone have any pictures of all the wiring behind the airbag i am trying to replace everything and i am not quite sure where the black neg goes for the horn. if anyone could help with anything it would be appreciated. along with if the horn is bad how muc hdoes one cost or did it cost to get it installed.
The horn in my 97 was kinda between the bumper and front passenger fenderwell. I'd start with the actual horn itself before you go crazy with replacing wiring. I hear they go bad ofter. Mine was starting to get weak so I put in two Mercedes horns from an old diesel sedan at the junkyard.
Start by pulling the horn out and hooking it directly to the battery (for a very short period of time or you'll burn it up) to see if it even works anymore.
By the way, most horns only have one wire going to them and then use the housing as ground. I can't remember if the cavy horn is this way or not.
all the way down at the bottom under the passenger side headlight
My horn dies within 6 months. Water gets in it and I've replaced it 3 times now

Lee--- In youre other post you state the reason you have 2 posts is because not everyone reads everything... well you are quite obviously not reading/replying to your own post.
Ken--- Make sure the opening of the horn is facing downwards, but not STRAIGHT down. Then the water can drain out like its suppoesded to thanks to gravitiy.

I extended the wiring and put two horns in front of the radiator. The old horn worked, but I could hear it better than some one outside the car.
^^ I also put two horns... sounds cooler lol, and louder cuz our stock horns are major suckers of the cock.

How easy is it to replace? Anyone have any instructions?

Finding the horn is 3/4 of the battle, its one bolt and it comes off, so if you can't figure it out, you need to put on a helmet and put down the keys, cuz you'd get hurt trying to do any other simple task, like chewing food
