2003 Grand Am Horn Problems

My girlfriend is having trouble with the horn on her car. When you lock the car with the keyfob the lights blink and when you push the panic button the lights blink as well. When I put the fuse in the horn goes off and doesn't stop. My first thought was the relay. I replaced it with another relay, they looked all the same so I just popped it out and put another in. The same problem happened when I put the fuse back in. I don't have the resources to check if the horns are good. Does anyone know what I can do?

Thanks,
Mooney

Re: 2003 Grand Am Horn Problems

If the horn is on steady than my guess is that the problem is in the steering colum or the steering wheel. Since the wire that runs to the switches gets grounded by the switches to activate the horn thansomething is causing it to be grounded all the time.

Re: 2003 Grand Am Horn Problems

Thanks. I was hoping that wouldn't be it but I don't see anything else that would be wrong. Is there an easy way to remove the steering wheel as to not mess up the air bag? I don't have a hayne's manual for this car.
