How to Replace a Horn in a Ford Taurus

The Ford Taurus is the model name for four generations of mid-size and full-size cars manufactured from 1986 to 2007. It is also the marketing name for post-2007 Ford 500 sedans. Many Ford Taurus enthusiasts are dissatisfied with the sound of the original equipment manufacturer's horn and choose to replace it. This is a fairly straightforward task; you'll need only a few tools.



Difficulty:
ModerateInstructionsThings You'll Need:
  • 8mm socket wrench
  • New horn kit
  • Wire crimper/stripper
  1. Step 1

    Buy a horn kit. The Ford Taurus has two horns, one low tone and one high tone. Make sure the new horn has the correct tone if you are replacing only one horn.

  2. Step 2

    Locate the original manufacturer's horns. The horns for a Ford Taurus are mounted behind the left side of the front bumper fascia.

  3. Step 3

    Remove the power connector from the horns, take out the mounting bolt with a socket wrench and remove the original horn. If you are installing factory replacements, you should be able to use the old mounting bolts in the original mounting location. If you are installing custom horns, find a sturdy location with minimal vibration and mount the horns with the fasteners included in the kit.

  4. Step 4

    Use the original wiring harnesses if they fit the new horns. Otherwise, you will need to use a wire crimper/stripper to connect the new harness to the old wiring. Plug the harnesses into the new horns.

  5. Step 5

    Test the new horns to ensure they are working. It should be easy to tell if both horns are sounding and you can also test the horns one at a time if you need to.
