Horn Issues

[Audibot]

My allroad's horns stopped working, no matter how I press the wheel. No fuse issues. I pulled out the relay and swapped in a new (53) and all of a sudden the horn is non-stop blaring, until I pulled the relay out again. What can I do to get this corrected? I've already needed the horn for few dimwits on the road but haven't had it.

can you check to see if the horn switch is stuck closed? Sounds like it might of been/be?

Is that on the steering wheel? If so, would I be removing the airbag and seeing what's under there? What would I be looking for?

[spacecadet]

Uh i would think you could pin out the locations of the horn to the relay and use a multimeter to test if its closed or not.

[Audibot]

Ah, ok. I'm completely garbage when it comes any kind of electrical analysis.

[spacecadet]

I don't have any diagrams unfortunately but I think the horn just pulls to ground when you hit it, so if you can find what pin on the relay is the horn input put a lead in that then test if it has continuity to ground that would show the horn is stuck.

I appreciate it. I'll try to do that when I'm home from work.

Something must've part way worked, as on Sunday morning nothing worked, but as of my way home, I honked and it worked. However, when the car is off, nothing happens. Are the C5s designed that way? My B7 would work regardless.
