Horn Relay

[Guest Cliff B]

Looking for thr horn relay on my '02 venture. Any suggestions?

Well, unless you or someone else added it, there ain't one! And if you did add one, I can't even guess where you might have put it. Sorry.

V7Goose, Thanks, that's the reason I could not find one. Having horn problems. Checked the switch and the horns (both) all work as designed. When connected the rear horn does not function and the front horn is muted.

Any suggestions?

Make sure the horns are getting a good ground. If they work fine when bench testing them, then you have a wiring problem somewhere.

The horns on Ventures are wired hot and they ground through the switch. Key on check for battery voltage on the Brown wire, should have 12+V. Try (with a jumper wire)grounding the horn terminal with the Pink wire, if horn sounds good....its it the grounding...(ie horn button and its connections). You could also unhook both Pink wires (one on each horn) and test them for resistance to ground with the horn button pushed.

If wiring checks out fine.....I think theres a nut on the horn that sets the tone....been awhile since I looked at one.

Neil thanks, I will give it a try.

Most Auto Parts stores carry a 12 V relay. If not, they can order the Bosh Relay, they are the best quality.

 

Use the Horn button ground to actuate the relay, and use #16 wire to carry current thru the relay to the new horn installation.
