The horn doesn't work on my 97 Acura. We have tried to replace the horn, but it still didn't work properly. Is this a problem with the Acura's? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I am not sure what else to add since I am being prompted to have 200 characters in the post. Not quite sure how to do that or what else to say?

Do you have a multi meter to do testing?

Have you check the horn relay?

Power for the horn travels through the cable reel (which is inside your steering wheel) to the horn switch to ground. If your cruise control doesn't work either then you probably have a bad cable reel.
