85 horn relay location

[esterling]

My horn does not work. I need someone to tell me where on the vette the horn relay is located. Also, should I disconnect the negative post on the battery before I put new relay on? One more thing. Is there an inline fuse for the horn? If so, do you know where it may be located?

Thanks, Eddie

On my old 87 and on my brothers 86 the relay is behind the Driver Information Center . I' don't know about the fuse though . Cliff

Hey cliff,

How is everything going down there in butler. After reading your post, something really stuck out. You had an 87 while your brother had an 86. Go figure I have an 86 and my brother has an 87. One of those weird situations.

Hope things are well

Craig

Fuse and relay are behind DIC.

The fuse (actually a circuit breaker) is in the fuse block on the right side of the dash, (door must be opened to access it).
The relay is behind the Driver Information Center.

Check the horns themselves also. Grounding wires must be well seated. If any corrosion has formed, you'll not complete the circuit, hence the horns won't work.

I've had that problem on two or three other early and mid 80s GM products.

If you here a click when you push on the horn the horns need to be oiled the relay is good water in the horn is normal for vette .just a relay no fusses.

the acc fuse operates the cig lighter, lights inside hatch,and so on.
