It's sort of embarrassing really. I've owned this truck for three years and never noticed I didn't have one. I guess I wasn't much of a horn user. Well a year of living in the Northeast has revealled my lack of horn! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
Where is it supposed to be? I can't find it in my engine compartment though it looks like there's a clean spot on the drivers firewall. Is that where it should be mounted?
Just wanted to make sure before I bought one on ebay. Also, what does the wiring plug that connects to it look like? I'll try to locate that as well. Thanks.

Thanks Tex! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> Yup, it's in there. Let the troubleshooting begin.

Mines been dead for about 5 years, I've substituted the middle finger <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> I should replace it one of these days, our roads are getting more crowded, and the drivers seem to be getting worse as well <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" />

Mine has only worked once in the five years I've owned my truck. The time it worked was when I said to my brother "yeah, the horn doesn't work... see?" and of course that ONE time it worked! It was a freak incident.

90% of the time, it is the horn contact mounted behind the steering wheel. Pull the steering wheel and you will see a brass ring. Pull it off and put a small washer under it at the three screws. This will help it have a better contact with the pin. You can get a replacement pin from the dealer and just pull the switch assy and it has a C-clip that you need to remove and undo the wire and replace.

Check your fuse before you go tearing into the steering wheel.
