Do you have step by step method to check horn circuit? Both horns blow when jumped at fuse. Horns do not work from steering horn button. How to check wiring at TIPM connectors?

Hello,

The information that you requested is in the diagrams down below. Testing procedures for the horn circuit in your vehicle are very limited without the use of a factory scan tool, but I have included them anyway. Please go through the guides and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex

Thank you for your response.
1. I need help in understanding the wiring connections on the relay (micro relay) mounted on TIPN circuit board. Have attached sketch.
2. Both horns sound with fuses removed and jumper wire from battery connected to horn side of fuse block.
3. Removed horn relay under TIPN cover and test with Ohms meter that read; 58 Ohms at coil and.3 Ohms at contacts.
4. The horn micro relay coil mounted on circuit board read 40 Ohms.
5. Would like to replace the Horn and Fuel Pump relay on TIPN circuit board being vehicle is a 2011 model. Need to research more how to.
6. Made Ohms test on connection 28, C7, to vehicle ground with horn “on” and “off”; No reading. Ohms test on connection 29, C7, to vehicle ground with horn “on and “off”; No reading. Ohms test on connection 28, C7 to connection 29, C7 with horn “on” and “off”; No reading.
7. Appreciate your support with this project.

It looks like the brown and pink and white wires are the ones you want to check, doesn't really show the clock spring. You could have a TIPM that is out which is common, they are easy to replace because they self initialize. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.
