If you are good under the hood of a car, I need your help with my horn....

Question

I laid on the horn and it died........ I need a new one.......

I am going to buy it on Ebay.........

Does one size fit all? Or is there only one model horn that will my 93 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme?

Is it easy enough for me to install myself? I don't have any money and can't afford to pay for a brand new one (Hence, Ebay)

and I can't afford to pay for someone to install it....... but it's dangerous not to have a horn.................

So please help. Thanks!

Answer 1

I'm not totally sure on that car, but you probably need to get one from the same car on ebay. They're usually not too bad to install. See if you can get a friend to help. One place to look before replacing the horn though is the fuse. You could have blown it with the long horn blast.

Answer 2

Go to NAPA. They should have one. Extremely easy to replace: 1 bolt and one wire.

Answer 3

buy a new one it has to be the same one as you had in it before just show it to a person that knows

Answer 4

I agree that you should check the fuse, you may also have a horn relay that is not working or it could even be the horn button on the steering wheel. Most vehicles have two horns to give you a two tone effect. I would believe that it would be rare for them to both die at the same time unless there was another cause. I would suggest getting an multimeter and check the fuse. If it is good then with an assistant, unplug the horn and see if you have voltage at the horn, by connecting the positive lead to the horn wiring and the negative to the frame and have the assistant press the horn button. This would help to eliminate the horn with out spending any money.

Answer 5

Check the yellow pages, and call a couple of auto salvage companies. They should be able to find the right one, and it won't cost a lot.

Answer 6

You can buy a cheap horn at any auto parts store. Then the install is fairly simple, and can be easily modified. The wire just needs to go to the terminal, and the horn attached to the body. Simple.

Answer 7

Should be easy to install, and a used one should be ultra cheap since no one really needs one and they arent in demand. Most GM cars I've worked on it was an easy swap. the horn was attached to the driver fender behind the headlights

Answer 8

It's probably not that the horn is broken but a fuse is blown. Check for fuses.  If it is the horn - horns are pretty interchangeable (12 volts) however the wiring connectors may be different. If you want an easy changeover get a replacement of the original.
