Horn not working fiat punto active but fuse - any suggestions?

Here are some suggestions if your Fiat Punto Active horn is not working, but the fuse is intact:

1. Check the Horn Relay:

- Locate the horn relay in your car's fuse box. Refer to your vehicle's owner manual for its exact location.

- Once you have identified the horn relay, remove it from its socket and inspect it for any visible damage or corrosion.

- If the relay looks damaged, replace it with a new one of the same amperage and type.

2. Test the Horn Switch:

- The horn switch is usually located on the steering wheel of your car.

- Press the horn switch and listen for a clicking sound. If you hear the clicking sound, it means that the switch is working properly.

- If you don't hear any sound, the horn switch might be faulty and needs to be replaced.

3. Check the Horn Wiring:

- Inspect the wiring harness that connects the horn switch to the horn relay and the horns themselves.

- Look for any loose connections, damaged wires, or corrosion.

- Repair any damaged or loose wiring as needed.

4. Test the Horns:

- Disconnect the horn connectors from the horns.

- Connect a 12-volt power source directly to the horn terminals.

- If the horns produce sound when connected directly to the power source, it means that they are working properly.

If the horns do not produce any sound, they may be faulty and need to be replaced.

5. Check Ground Connection:

- Ensure that the horn has a good ground connection to the vehicle's chassis.

- Clean any corrosion or rust from the grounding point and ensure a secure connection.

If you have tried all these suggestions and the horn still doesn't work, it is recommended to seek professional assistance from a qualified mechanic or an authorized Fiat service center to diagnose and fix the issue.
