horn dosn't work

I have a 92 saturn sl. The horn is new but there is no power going to the horn button (steering wheel) The relay is fine. Is there a fuse or fusable link some where? I don't have a muaual.

There is a horn fuse and perhaps a relay, I can't remember. (The car I'm referencing is my granddaughter's and isn't here now) Pull the passenger compartment fuse cover (left kick panel) and look at the back - it lists fuses and relays. If its not there, look at the under-hood fuse compartment. The fuses and relay are marked there also.

Here is another possible problem: There is a little metal on plastic piece under the horn buttons on either side of the steering wheel. When you press where it says "horn" the metal part completes the horn circuit. The plastic clips that hold these in place are prone to breaking - mine did under one of the buttons. To get them out, pry the soft plastic off of the end of the spoke near the "horn" button and the piece will pop out; there is a little coil spring under it. I haven't bothered to put mine back in because one button still works.

You should be able to get this piece from Saturn dealer; looks like it should cost about 5 cents. Ha! Hint for installing the new piece: super glue the tiny spring to the piece or it will jump all over the place and frustrate you mightily. With the spring glued in, its easy. I tried putting mine back in place before I realized that part of the plastic clip had broken off.

It would be a good idea to pull the air bag fuse before doing this - top left fuse in passenger compartment.
