It is fun and we learn.

@eyuzik30 8 лет назад

Thanks Scotty, after checking the fuse and the replacing the relay I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Then I shorted the horn out and nothing happened. So I knew it was the horn itself, both high and low tones. Thanks for your videos.

@arcticcircle_acrobat 8 лет назад

This was oddly very useful. Thank you for giving multiple resolutions.

@jimlange2858 6 лет назад

Great video, thank you! Took your advice....removed the horn relay fuse and replaced it with an adjacent fuse of a similar size and presto, the horn worked which indicated the relay was bad. Bought a replacement at the auto store for about $8.00 and the problem was resolved. Thanks!

@MTOM75 9 лет назад

I think a momentary switch would be a better option than a toggle switch. It only supplies power when the button is pushed and shuts off power when released.

@scottykilmer 9 лет назад

sure, but I didn't have any lying around in my tool box to use as an example, but all auto parts stores sell em

@542740038 9 лет назад

Thanks Scotty, another great video ...... my horn relay burned out and a new one wants to do the same .. for now I have left it out. My question is should I pull the fuse also, only runs the cig. lighter (don't smoke) and a glove box light (not installed) .. I will wire the horn separately. thanks

Mr. Kilmer, I watch just about all your videos and hit like before it even ends. Keep up the good work!!! A little longer of a video would be nice but A+ in my book👍

@Rusiputki 9 лет назад

The toggle switch is a great idea Scotty because you can be horning your way while still driving. Perfect for the handsfree user

@clintluna6884 5 лет назад

Thanks man! Liked that you went through all the fixes even though you figured it out.....saw someone fix the switches inside the steering wheel (with an airbag) can this cause the airbag to also malfunction in the future, or is the main concern just it going off on accident??

@K13Good 9 лет назад

I remember watching a video on starting a car without keys or something. And they rigged up a switch that started the car. And in the comments people were talking about how they rigged theirs up like that but hid the switches so only they could start the car. Pretty neat haha

@andrewdonahue8208 9 лет назад

I never comment to videos, however that being said, love the channel, just like myself, you make working on vehicles fun, and teach in the same method I use with our upcoming technicians. It looks like you are using a probe from the Power Probe kit, that would be and aweseme video if possible, 19 years in the trucking industry, 14 as a professional mechanic, electrical is what I typically deal with, if that is what I think it is, once I found that tool it paid for itself with the saved labor time the first time I used it. Would be and awesome tool to highlight in a video.

@justinmojica1977 9 лет назад

Scotty two questions for you. 1. Where do you find yourself that very same probe device? 2. If lets say I didn't have one, what other object can I use to give electricity to the Car horn in between the Engine and the radiator? Thank you for your many answers.

Fixing A Car Horn That Doesn't Blow Thanks for sharing Scotty.

@goodintentions1302 2 года назад

It's frustrating that the 2006 & newer PT Cruisers don't have a fuse for the horn! It's connected instead to the Total Integrated Power Modual (TIPM). And, the horn is located just in front of the passenger side front tire. I think I was 14 before I heard the term "engineer." Because of my father's job at General Electric, I always heard them referred to as "God Da*π engineers!" It's that kind of engineering he was referring to. 😉 I am so grateful for Scotty posting videos! He has helped me in so many ways! ☮️

@rooneypitchford5078 7 лет назад

Thanks @Scotty. Can you give me some specific tips on running a horn of a switch, fuse, and battery? What kind of fuse do I need to buy? Thanks! PS: I have found one fuse box for my 1970 Ford truck, but there is no indication that the horn's fuse is in this one. Is it possible there is a second fuse box in these trucks? Any ideas on 1970 F-250 fuse box or relay locations would be greatly appreciated.

@A.C.71 7 лет назад

I have a 1997 ford f150 4x4 xlt the horn isn't working I checked the under dash fuse box and from the chart i found on the internet I cannot see a horn fuse there is just a horn relay under hood which i swapped with one next to it but didn't work. I think I need to find the right diagram for my truck..shouldn't there be a horn fuse under dash ?

@raterus 9 лет назад

I feel stupid, I never knew that circle thing in the front was the horn!

@suggesttwo 6 лет назад

Before changing the horn clean the ground bolt if it is chassis grounded. If there is only 1 wire this is a tell that the horn (or any part) uses a chassis ground.

@ViperJay5 9 лет назад

I fixed my horn better than the dealer. Sure, they replaced the horns that were starting to wear with the same model which were the newer Fiamm AM80S horns but if you really want a good and loud sounding horn, pick up some older Fiamm AM80 horns or if you're going to get the AM80S horns, get the ones that are made in Italy, they're much louder and attention grabbing. If you want to get slightly dirty, you can cut off OEM plugs which I did and attach some spade connectors to some wiring so you can use horns that have spade connectors. I just doubled it up so I could have dual horns which my car always had. Just be careful so the wires don't touch each other otherwise you could blow the fuse so I always go the extra length and buy the spades with the isolators on them which is good if it's something that will be exposed to moisture and water over time. The Chevy dealer charged me over $120 just to install the two horns and for a 2000-2005 Chevy Impala, it's really easy, all you have to do is remove the passenger side headlight and there they are. I noticed it's like that from a lot of GM vehicles from that year span.

Morning Scotty, Would you happen to have done a video on removing and installing a ported vacuum valve? I have a lexus with a hard to reach valve and was wondering if I can get some Scotty wisdom. Thank you for your time

@scottykilmer 9 лет назад

no vid, just basically try sliding the hoses off, and realize they often will crack the plastic end if it's an older car. In that case, slit the hose with a razor and just replace the hose, they are much cheaper

@rollingfox357 9 лет назад

Hi Scott. I love your all your videos. I have a question. I just bought a new car, it has 80000km on it and I don't know went previous owner changed it. So I assume they use 5W-30 oil. Should I increase it to 10w-30 oil as the milage increase or stick with the same thickness oil? Thank you Scott.

@scottykilmer 9 лет назад

if it doesn't burn oil, keep to the 5 W

@rollingfox357 9 лет назад

But i asked the mechanic at the local shop, they said as the car get more milage, you just keep increasing viscosity of the oil like 5w for new engine and 10w for like 50k km and so on. I am a little confused. But I guess I take your advise as I don't really trust those mechanics. Paid them $250 just for crank angle sensor replacement but they actually didn't fix the random stall. Then I watched your video, found out it was the camshaft sensor faulty. Thanks a lot
