[BLU CIVIC]

i need some help. about a couple weeks ago my horn started coming on by its self. i thought someone was blowing at me but it WAS me:apoke: . i talked to a mechanic and he sid that i needed a new steering column. now that sounds pertty far fetched and i need a ssecond opnion. but to fix the problem i just took out the fuse and that sux too b/c my seatbelt light and door open light comes on and starts beeping every time i press the brakes. i need some friggen help b4 i go friggen nuts with all that beeping. i also found out that i's dangerous to ride w/o a horn but equally with a horn that keeps coming on:argue: . so, can you help me in fixing my horn :help:

I dont know about where you are but I know that here it is legal to have the horn on a switch beside the column.....just in case you have to disconect the horn from the column. If you take the centerpiece off the wheel there should be some cotacts there, just check those out.

Yeah, pop the cover and check the connectors.

how do i take the center piece off??

[plkelley]

I believe it just pops off but im not intirely sure. I had a 1st gen crx and it just popped off, i think there the same

[daddys]

i thought the brake lights and the horn shared the same fuse,,,,u better check that out,,,also you can check your horn connections out,,the horns located in the drivers front fender

i was at a junk yard today and ripped one off by pulling it at the back.....i know that way won't work. did it pop off from the front??

[BLU CIVIC]

thanx daddys....didn't think about that. would i need to check the actual horn b/c it only comes on by itself when i trun the steering wheel

[plkelley]

Im pretty sure it does, the whole piece that moves when you press the horn should pop off......Has anyone actually taken it off, I might take a look tomorrow.

ye i have taken it off,,,when i bought my civic my brake lights didnt work and my horn didnt work,,,,everytime i put a fuse in it would blow,,turned out the positive wire for the horn was disconnected and touchin the frame and shortin,,,

Sorry man, but I was reading this shit and cracking up, id be pissed if everytime I turned the wheel the horn went off, or if I hit the brakes that shit came on.

:hehe: Damn, but seriously I hope you can get that shit fixed.

oh my god ur actually right. been riding around for about 3-4 weeks w/o my brake lights working, this whole situation sux

To remove the steering wheel, you would need to pop off the honda emblem in the center of it. Just use a flathead screwdriver or whatever.

To remove the entire horn assembly, there are screws on the back of the steering wheel that you have to remove.

Anyways, find the horn wires at the steering wheel, and chase them down to wherever the problem is occuring. You'll probably just need to replace some of the wires. If you got to a junk yard, you can probably get the whole wiring harness for less than $20.

GOOD NEWS... i think. well what i neglated to also tell you was that my windshield wiper switch was messed up too, so that ment that if i hit a bump at the same time i was braking, my wipers would come on my cd player would turn off (short i think, came with the car), and my seltbelt light would start beeping. sound pretty screwed up i know. well, i think i my have solved the problem. i went to the junkyard saturday and picked up a light and wiper switch. i installed it today and now my wipers don't come on, no more beeping, and my horn doesn't come on(not sure if it will again, nuw i'm still paranoid that it will when i'm turning and i still hear that beeping noise in my heard whenever i brake). i'm am d man now :smoka:

thanx for the help...
