Horn stopped working
Hello fellow RX8 owners. First of all, I'd like to say sorry if I am posting in the wrong forum. Idk why, but it appears this is the only place I am allowed to post. Also, before anyone says "this topic has been covered, do some research hit the search button" etc., I'd like to assure everyone I have read every post regarding this issue. Anyways as the title says, my horn does not work. I have checked the 15A fuse and it is ok. I have also swapped the relay with the fog relay which I know works and still no success. All the lights flash when they are supposed to. Even when I press the panic button, the lights flash continuously. So as far as I know everything is working fine except for the horn themselves. My question is, am I right in assuming the actual problem is with the Horn themselves? Or is there something else I've missed or can try before ordering some new horns. Please help a brother out. I nearly had a guy back into me and I was completely defenseless as far as letting him know I was there. Luckily both our windows were open and I was able to give him a shout! The conversation wasn't pretty.....Thanks in advance for anyone's help

I mean, it's a fairly simple circuit.
Have you tried swapping the fuse with another 15A to be sure?
If the fuse and relay are fine, then the only other things that could be wrong would be the horns themselves.
Try hotwiring them directly from the 12V(make sure you wear ear muffs, obviously) and see if they sound.

I would have someone activate the horn as you test for voltage at the connector to each horn to ensure you are getting voltage to each horn. You can also apply 12V direct to each horn to test the horns. These tests will cover the horn operation circuit and will help to narrow down you diag.
