Red face 89 honda accord's horn will not work!

I have an 89 Honda Accord, and along with the horn on the steering wheel, it also has the cruise control’s acceleration and Set button. Some time ago both my horn and the cruise control stopped working. I have checked the fuse and it is not blown. The only other thing I can think of is the wiring within the steering column. Would that be it, or is there something else I can check?


I need my horn back... there are a lot of sloppy drivers in my town!!!!!!

I just saw your old message about the horn and cruise control going out on your 1989 Accord. We have a '91 Accord, and the horn and cruise control just went out on it! I wonder if you ever found out if the problems were connected, or what you did about it? My email address: [email protected] Thanks.

Re: 89 honda accord's horn will not work!

Can you give me any more details on that? Is the clock spring part of the horn, or is it part of the steering column or something else? I want to sound like I know what I'm talking about when I go to the mechanic. Thanks.

Re: 89 honda accord's horn will not work!

the clockspring is a disk between steering wheel and column, it provides power for the steering wheel (ie horn, and cruz)

Re: Re: 89 honda accord's horn will not work!

As it turns out, there is a coil in the steering wheel that coordinates all of the wires for a variety of functions, including the horn, cruise control, and the SRS light, which eventually came on and stayed on.

When that was replaced ($450), everything worked fine.
