'99 Solara Horn issue

[LeonK]

Hello all,

So on my 1999 toyota solara, I've got a funny issue going on with the horn, and by funny, I mean it confuses me.

When I use the horn button on the steering wheel, the horn doesn't work. I checked the fusebox under the hood, and the horn fuse is fine, when the horn button on the steering wheel is depressed and I have the fuse box open, I can hear a clicking. I'm assuming the clicking is from one of the relays in there, though I'm not sure which one and in the owner's manual I don't see a listing for the relays, so I'm not sure which of those relays is the horn relay.

Then, when I use the "panic" button on my car fob(i think these things are called fob's, the unlock/lock thing that comes with the key) the horn starts going off, along with the lights, as one would expect it to.

So....this is why I'm confused. The "panic" button makes the horn go off, but the horn button on the steering wheel only gets me a clicking sound. I'm unsure where to look for other info, other than the manual, so I figured maybe you smart people could help me out. Is there more than 1 horn on the solara? If not, wouldn't the "panic" button go through the same relay that the horn button on the wheel does? If the panic button goes a different route to the horn, then does the clicking I'm hearing when the steering wheel button is pushed mean that the relay is bad?

This car has a few other issues, but I'm trying to tackle the simple stuff first, and work my way on to the more difficult things. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

The panic button is for the horn on the passenger side right near the firewall. The two horns in the front are controlled by the steering wheel.

A relay that clicks is good as power is getting to the relay.

I have the electrical service manual in front of me. The system is simple. The horn relay and fuse is in J/B No.2 (drivers side black box above the wheel well).

Ah, so there IS more than one horn. That's good to know, but frustrating cause that means I don't know if the horn is good lol

Thanks very much for the information. Guess I gotta run some wiring from the battery straight to the horn and see if the horn is actually working then or not.

Ok, well I found the horn up near the firewall that the panic button is activating.

But I can't find a second horn up front behind the grille. I see one horn, which obviously isn't sounding, but I don't see a second one anywhere near it or in the area.....

Any one able to point out where the second regular horn is supposed to be located?? Thanks.

Yeah so I went to an auto parts store, and they used a multimeter to check if my horn was even getting voltage, and apparently it is not

Anyone have a tutorial on how I might remove the fuse/relay box, and run a new wire from it to the horn?
