Title: Horn has stopped working?
Post by: probedb on August 25, 2008, 01:59:44 PM
Hi all,

Any ideas why my horn would stop working?

I\'ve checked the voltages across the horn push and it\'s registering just over 12V when the I press the horn push but it doesn\'t sound.

Are there any fuses to replace or does it sound like I need to replace the horn(s) themselves?

Cheers :)

Paul.

One of mine stopped working but I tested and found that it\'s still getting power when pressing horn button - maybe need new horn?

Apparently there\'s a relay in the engine bay for it. Going to check that at some point :)

not sure about the FD\'s but it usual ends up being a earth, check where the horn is bolted to the frame (if you have room!)

Lol :) I disconnected one due to a short but thinking about it I reckon the other could be a bad earth at the horn itself.

Turned out to be the contacts at the horn itself :)

Thank you :) And I\'d even bought 2 horns to replace the stock ones....might still fit them cos they\'re shiny.
