Default 1995 LS400 No Horn!

Like the title says, there is no horn. Both low and high horns are tested good, fuses are good, and relay is good as well. I am suspecting clockspring. Any suggestions or experiences on this matter? Cruise control and Airbag are fine.

Are they plugged in all the way?? In my last car the horn started to fail and I checked everything then decided to just push in the connectors some more...

low and behold they were just a little loose

Yes they are plugged in all the way. What worries me is that I am not getting any voltage to relay trigger when horn is pressed...

In my case, noth horns died at once one day. I dont know what caused it, I dont even want to know.
But I was getting voltage from the wires going to the horns, changed the horns and all was well. SOunds like a wiring problem in your case.

Sounds like the Cspring,.. I don't have any experience with the Lexus horn going out, but do in a few american cars. The fact that you aren't getting power to the terms should narrow it down a good degree.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

To who asked for recommendations for an aftermarket horn,.. I think this one would do just fine.
