i drive a 88 Hilux xtra Cab (the square model)

my horn has recently stopped working.... i checked the wiring with another horn and to no avail, the horn is fine, but somewhere the wiring is shot.

i checked behind the steering wheel aswell and all those connections seem fine.

is there a fuse or relay i am missing or do i need to go all through the mess of wiring that seems to follow the horn :?

thx in advance

Don't know about a fuse or relay but check every connection and wire again. All it could take is a stripped/cut/nicked wire somewhere.

I would just run a new wire for the horn, but I'm lazy.
Normally there is a fuse in the fusebox for the horn. Don't know about a relay. relays are usually for high current devices. i don't think those little buzzers drain much power

check the earth behind steerig wheel make shore the earth contact is clean also sometimes the contact wears down and does not contact when you push the horn

up yours
