Hello !

Well I have a 1993  ford Areostar mini-van. About a year ago I replaed the
horn as it was not working and it still is not working. I just had some time
to check the inside and the horn relay wass clicking when I press the horn
button. So I figured it could be that, but after I replaced it with a new
one the relay still clicks when I push the horn button.

When I did replace the horn it was one of them horns that requires the (-)
be looped to the back of the unit.

The new horn relay when I did buy it I had the person check twice to make
sure it was the right one.

Also from check I have seen post in different sites like  a UK site that
says something about the airbag not working that will cause the horn not to
work.

I do not know if this makes sence, but the airbag light is also in a 3 blink
mode. Clinks 3 times then stops for a few secons and then blinks 3 more
times.

I do not want to do a hugh job on this thing, but the only thing I can think
of is either it is the the airbag thing, or maybe there is like 2 relays and
would not make sence.

Any help would be welcomed as I am getting mis-info from the people at like
autozone and techs at repair shops taht want a bit of money to find the
cause and I dont want to pay like $50 or more just to find the reason it is
not working.

Thanks in advance !

Sounds like the clock spring in the steering wheel, which provides electrical
continuity for the horn, SRS airbag, and cruise control. If you're going to keep
the vehicle, INVEST in the Factory Service Manual & EVTM for it. Look on eBay or
go to the manual's publishing source at www.helminc.com

  holy cow man, try to just use a test light and find out where the
juice is. your jumping all over the place guessing instead of simple
testing.  KB
