horn help answers
ok i finally fixed my horn today. im writing this to help people with the same problem i had.
step 1 check if horn itself works (by touching leads of battery)
step 2 check contacts in steering wheel (brass pin, clean connection)
step 3 check horn relay if aplicable. (not all trucks at the junk yard had them)
many were asking where the horn relay is. it is in the drivers side kick pannel mounted on the side of the fuse box more twards the firewall. it is a 3 prong relay and is gray it also says toyota horn relay on it.
if you turn the wheel and the horn works intermitently than your contacts in the wheel are probably bad.
if your horn dosent work period than it is probably the relay or the horn itself
mine had the relay go bad and took me forever to figure out so i hope this helps someone. if i get a hold of a camera i will take pics of the relay as its not too easy to locate.

My horn is on the fritz. Thanks for the article. I'll check this stuff out ASAP!
You never realize how many stupid people are out driving until your horn stops working and you can no longer honk at them...
My case might be a little worst off I fear. My hazards aren't working either AND my radio stopped working. All fuses are good.
