Horn Assembly Problems of Saturn LS

The horn has stopped to sound, the fuse was replaced and the horn was pressed and the fuse blew again. There is no horn on the vehicle now causing it to be very dangerous to drive as deer have run our in front of me while driving and have almost been hit by a car that could have resulted in a number of accidents which could be prevented or noticed with a horn.

The consumer states the electrical system failed. As a result the horn and the exterior lights became inoperative. Please provide additional information.

The contact owns a 2000 Saturn Ls1. The contact states that the electrical components on the driver's side of the vehicle do not work. The windows, the horn, and brakes lights are not working. The brake light problem has been happening for years, but the window, horn, speaker, driver side turn signal, and the dash lights started to malfunction at one time. The consumer indicates when she rolled the driver's side window down and back up that was when every thing quit working. The service dealer stated that each component would need to be replaced. The consumer has contacted the manufacturer.

The horn would sound intermittently although it was not pressed by the driver. The dealer was notified.

Horn failed to operate. I checked the fuse and horn relay. I inspected the horn assembly itself. I was surprised to find that it was mounted at the bottom of the front spoiler. In this location it is subject to road dirt and water. When I brought the car to a Saturn dealer in lynbrook NY, they agreed that it was a poor location for the horn. They said other l series car owners had the horn fail prematurely. The l series has much room in the engine compartment and front body to locate the horn. The Saturn dealer replaced the horn and wiring connector. But they did not relocate the horn. Another problem I have with the horn since I bought this car is that I have to press the horn pad very hard unless I press it on the one of the two horn shaped indents. These indents are the same color as the airbag cover, very small and hard to feel and locate in an emergency situation. Many times I have went to blow the horn and it did not work because I have not pressed it hard enough. All the Saturn people I have spoken with say that it is because of the air bag. However I have driven vehicles that have airbags and the horn is much more responsive. Some cars have horn buttons and some have a much thinner or flexible cover for a horn pad. Some have an airbag assembly that moves inward when you press it to activate the horn. I believe that there should be some modification made to make the horn more responsive. Thank you. Dt.

Horn is located on the steering column. The danger is that when driving consumer would have to look away in order to touch the horn. Horn is located in the same area as the airbag.

Consumer states to sound horn consumer would have to apply force and depress in current location. Dealer and manufacturer had been notified.

Horn sensor is extremely difficult to locate and very hard to depress in a emergency situation. Please give any further details.

When attempting to blow horn, horn sensor is difficult to locate and very hard to press. Extreme force is needed to get horn to sound. Apparently this is normal for this type of vehicle.
