Max626 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I recently purchased a 98 Legacy Wagon and noticed my horn didn't work on my home from work. I checked the owners manual for the fuse location and notice it was for both the horn and brake lights checked the brake lights and they weren't working either. The fuse is fine so im assuming its a relay so any input on how to fix this would be great also where is the relay for the horn/brake light.

Zues Marine Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 there's layouts under the fusebox covers both in the bay by the battery, and under the dash, near the OBD link The horn/brake is in the interior fuse box or just check and see if the horn got disconnected, if you still cant get it figured out, theres a spot to plug in the horn off of the LHD headlight harness, plug it in there and see if youre getting power at all or if its just the one side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stang70Fastback Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 He's asking about the relay. It's under the driver's dash somewhere up there in the foot-well area, but I'm not sure exactly where. If the horn isn't honking then you should easily be able to hear the click from that relay when you press the horn button. If you can't hear the click then you know either the relay is broken, or something leading up to it is broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subikid90 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 If the brakes and horn do not work then the fuse is not good. Sometimes they will look fine but they are not. Other possibility is there is a bad connection/wire leading into or out of the fuse box. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max626 Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 I'm currently checking out the car and can't find the relay, where exactly is it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Look behind the dash, extreme left (driver's) side, above the fuse box. Pulling the lower dash panel may help. The hot lead (coming from the fuse) should be a red/yellow (red wire with a yellow stripe). The other side of the relay coil (going to the horn switch) should be red/green. The relay output contact (going to the horns) should be red/blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max626 Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 I believe I found it, it's a red three prong relay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max626 Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Found it bench tested it and works, prior to bench testing I bought a relay just incase so I tried it as well still nothing. Went to double check the fuse and now I have no power -_- once a blue u will get some power to the fuse but its not constant. What else would be the problem bad fuse box???

Max626 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Ok here's the update the problem was a loose connection in the plug(Grey) at the bottom of the fuse box. I used a pick to squeeze the terminal in that grey harness plug to make a tight connection and everything is good now. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
