Default Horn Dead!?

The horns on my 98 V70 recently died - fuse is good, but I get no voltage at either horn when the pad is pushed. Any thoughts on common problem areas, ie. relay, contact switch, or ? thanks

Did you ck for 12V at the Horn Fuse?

Typically +12V pwr flows from the fuse to the horns (in parallel) and horn button/switch completes the ground side of the circuit.

In other words if you have pwr at the fuse but not at pwr (+) side of the horns, then you have an open in the harness somewhere.

I would double ck the fuse; make sure you have 12V (referenced to ground) on both sides of the fuse.
