The horn on my 2020 GMC sierra AT4 has quit working, and it doesn’t chirp when you lock it with the remote!   Help

Posted

My horn has started to sound weaker intermittently, too.  2020 Trail Boss LT.  It still works, so not a fuse issue.  I may need to actually replace the horn.

Did you verify that the setting didn't get changed?

Okay so the fuse is fine but when I hit the alarm button on the remote you can hear the horn clicking trying to work!!   I’m guessing a bad horn or what?  Help

The clicking should be the horn relay. Does the horn blow when you push the horn pad on the steering wheel? Do you have a test light to check for voltage at the horn?

For me it was the low note horn going out.   It was $35 for the replacement assembly.  The part number for me was 85130075

Go to your dealer with your VIN # and ask if you can buy a wire pigtail to connect to your horn.

Just make sure it’s not cut, because if so, that’s the first thing thieves do before breaking into it…then comes the CANinjection override.

How can they break into it?  And what’s can injection override ?

Here is an article about CAN Injection hacks:  https://www.securityweek.com/thieves-use-can-injection-hack-to-steal-cars/

 

You can find a horn pigtail on Amazon:  https://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-PT2597-Original-Equipment-Pigtail/dp/B005OUTFSE/ref=sr_1_3?crid=26IJE84XFZE5V&keywords=gm+horn+pigtail&qid=1704896049&sprefix=gm+horn+pi%2Caps%2C120&sr=8-3

This does look like the plug in your picture.

    • HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and maybe memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.        
    • I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it. 
    • So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29. 
    • Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.      
    • I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
