Default Horn electrical diagnosis

Has anyone ever had an electrical problem with their horns on a ZR1? My horns do not operate using horn buttons on streering wheel. Horns both work for theft deterrent system. Are the contacts on the steering wheel a problem area?

When I checked the Helms manual it said to check horn relay and fuses first. I would think if the system works for the theft deterrent system then it must be the horn button contacts.

Thoughts??

Thanks, John

Hi Jrd1990zr1,
i have had the same problem with my 1990 Z.
I repared it in thise mode:
-Disconnect the battery
-Remove air bag, there are 2 or 4(i don't remember) screw (torx) behind it
-Remove the plastic button of the horn

Now you have the contacts under your eyes. The problem is the spring doesn't make contact. I clean with screwdriver the contact an put some wd40. I put the spring and the contact into the hole and i stopped it with a piece of rubber.Repeate the operation for both button.
Sorry for my english, i hope that you understand me. After this operation the horn run great!!!

Bye
