Recently broke the horn in my 2018 Yukon Denali. Hit it too hard (I know, I'm an idiot). Horn got stuck on and it ended up blowing out. Took it to my mechanic (not dealership). He advised me that I needed to replace my spring coil as well as the actual horn. Fuse was fine.
After replacing both, he went to reattach the battery, and as soon as he put those cables back on the horn just starts blowing without stopping. Tried hitting the lock / unlock buttons on the remote. Tried pressing the horn on steering wheel. Nothing stops it. I've had to disconnect the horn and go without since.
Knowing that the horn, fuse and spring coil are all good, he assumed it must be the relay. Problem is neither of us have been able to find where the relay is located. I have searched the internet to no avail. What I did read on one or two forums is that the horn relay could be built into the fuse box under the hood. But nothing confirming this. I've called 3 different dealerships and spoken with parts, as well as service departments. None of them have been able to tell me. The last one I spoke with said to call GMC direct. I spoke with them and they also were unable to confirm anything.
So before I go and replace the entire fuse box, does anyone know if this is true? Is the horn relay on my truck built into the fuse box itself?
Or does anyone have any suggestions for any other diagnostics I should check before replacing the fuse box?
Very much appreciated!
