Some Oldsmobile Delta 88 owners report experiencing persistent horn noise issues that can be challenging to diagnose and resolve. Common problems include faulty wiring connections, which may lead to improper horn functionality, necessitating inspection and replacement of damaged wires. Additionally, some owners find that intermittent horn issues are related to the clock spring, a repair that is best left to experts due to its complexity. Others have reported needing to inspect the horn relay and wiring harness, as replacing a faulty relay may not always stop the honking. Issues with the horn relay itself, such as corrosion or loose connections, can also lead to unexpected activation, requiring systematic testing with a multimeter. In cases where dealers propose costly repairs involving the airbag system, some owners seek alternative solutions to manage expenses. Finally, testing the horn directly by connecting it to the battery can help determine if the issue lies within the wiring or the horn itself.
