I have a 1998 Accord that has never had any electrical problems until recently. I have had the factory horns as well as air horns installed for at least 4 years. Neither one will now work. I have checked both fuse panels on the driver's and passenger's side and none have a fuse labeled "horn". I have also checked the relay under the hood for the horn, and it is working fine. To double check myself, I swapped with one of the relays for the lights (which I know is working).

Neither of the horns will go off when honking from the steering wheel or using the panic function. I figured that if it were the steering wheel problem that most people talk about with hondas, the panic function will make the horns go off.

If I jump the factory horns or the air horns from the battery, both are functional.

Anybody had this happen? If so, how did you fix it?

Thanks!

 

Probably the switch in the steering wheel.

 

Good news is that it was not a problem with the steering wheel or anything close to it.

The issue has been fixed and it turned out to be the license plate bulb shorted out somehow. Funny enough I got pulled over for not having a functional license plate light. I later fixed it and the horn started working again!

It appears to me that the horn is tied into the same circuit / fuse as the stop lights. Therefore, if something goes wrong with the stop lights, it may affect your horn

Hope this helps!
