What is the Horn Relay all about?

The horn relay attaches a low power circuit to an electromagnet, which operates a mechanical switch. That switch either opens or closes a circuit that carries a higher power, which causes the horn to sound. There is a low power circuit running to your car’s steering wheel, and when it is activated, the horn sounds. When you release the horn button, the low power circuit is opened and the power level of the relay drops, silencing the horn.

Keep in mind:

You are required by law to have a working horn in your car.
Your car horn is a safety mechanism that allows you to warn other drivers of potential danger.

How it's done:

The vehicle battery is disconnected
The horn relay position is identified
The new horn relay and wiring are installed
The battery is reconnected
The repair is verified and the vehicle horn is tested for proper operation

Our recommendation:

If your horn isn’t working properly, you have no way of alerting another driver that he or she is about to collide with your vehicle, and you have no way of telling other drivers of any dangers further down the road. Our expert mechanics can diagnose any problems with your car horn, and if necessary, can replace the horn relay for you.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Horn Relay?

You press the horn button and nothing happens
You press the horn button but all you hear is a click
Horn only works sometimes

How important is this service?

Your horn is your first line of defense when it comes to problems in traffic. With an inoperable horn relay, your horn won’t work at all. If your horn isn’t working properly, get one of our expert mechanics to immediately correct the problem.

Hello, I have a 2000 Toyota echo that works all handy dandy. However I have an issue with the car. Every time I get gas, the car has a really hard timing turning on. It takes about 3-4 cranks to get the car started. Once the car gets started, it doesn’t have an issue turning on. I do have a check [engine](/topics-engine-toyota/) light on and the codes are p0440, p0441, and p0446. I know these are common codes with the car and I did my research. So far I have replaced the purge solenoid under the hood, I replaced the charcoal canister underneath the car, and I just got the lines flushed for carbon build up. I did take it to a mechanic but he said he couldn’t find anything else wrong with it. I find that hard to believe and ima get my money’s worth from this guy later. My only and last thought on the issue could be the pressure in the engine or the flow of air. I know the pressure is too lean in the car and that could be the main reason why it’s having a hard time turning on. They mechanic did mention something about the PSI being at 45 which is too low. How can I fix all of this?
