      Horn replacement problem

      Need Help.
      I got a horn from a Chevy Suburban and hooked it up.
      Black to black, Orange to Green (chevy).
      Hit the button and all was well.
      Went to bolt it on and as soon as the bracket hit the metal, it went off.
      Blew the fuse also.
      Replaced stock horn and fuse.
      Now nothing. Not even the chirp when I lock the doors.
      Any ideas on this one guys?
      "05 Aveo Hatch.

      the horn is grounding through the chassis. Try reversing the wires just to see what happens. If that don't work, you will have to find a way to insulate the horn from the body of the car, some kind of rubber or plastic bushing.

      I will think of a better signature later.

      you only need to ask in one place..

      check the horn relay. if you insist on using the other horn, do what was posted to attempt a fix.

      Relay

      I forgot about the relay.
      Its been awhile since Ive had to do anything electrical on a car.
      Any idea where the horn relay is located?

      It's probably in one of the Fuse panels, Check the service manual you can find on this site?
