Horn stopped working? Doesn't work "all the time"?? That's what Viagra's for! [hihi]

Sorry got nuthin'. []

 

Yes a hit on the front of the car could have damaged the wiring or the horn(s).
Car horns are really cheap junk. They hang off a thin metal bracket, and the wires are pushed on via more cheap connectors.

So I would suggest checking the horn(s) themselves for damage, or a loosened connection.
My experience is with other Ford horns.. Not actual MK3 horns.. So I do not know exactly where under the front they are. Most typical location is below the headlights in the fender well.

 

i looked up where the horn location is and it is below the headlight

 

Time for some supertones!

 

Our C-Max had the horn stop working about a month and a half ago. It turned out to be the relay. But it was totally dead

Might want to check the connector for corrosion; that's why mine stopped working. -->http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/mk3-focus/327244-horn-not-working-4.html<--

 

clock spring could be damaged. That usually causes the horn to work if the steering wheel in a certain direction

 

My coworker has a 2012 hatch and her horn stopped working. Ford dealer says relay is the problem.

 

the thing is with mine is it will sometimes work and sometimes won't work which is why i believe it is an issue with the horn itself.

i will check the connector though

 

Ear can't tell the difference between poor connection and poor operating horn. Results are usually the same.

 

If you're hearing the click that comes from the fuse box under the hood that's the relay and you need the horn itself replaced. Been there done that. If you're under warranty or have an extended warranty it should be covered.

 

from what i've been reading i think that is it. unfortunately not under warranty anymore :/ it seems simple enough that i could do it though
