Had a quick look at s1 drawings on here mate and no solenoid. P61 and p62 in electrical section...horn fuse 15a and relay...id remove both check connections clean and report back.

Hi, thank you for your response, I have swapped like for like fuses and relays from the fuse box, no change, I have seen it on the internet that someone else had the same problem and they said it was the solenoid, I suppose they could be wrong, another thing that happens when the horn is not working is the indicator lights do not flash when opening and locking the doors, but as soon as the horn works they flash again, tomorow I will check if the alarm works when the horn is in fail mode

Best regards

Can you hear the horn relay click when you press the button and it does not work?

Hi, no I cant hear any solenoid or any kind of noise when the horn is not working, the horn has worked for the last few days, with the noise I do not think I would hear the solenoid anyway, then yesterday it stopped again, still trying to analyze if anything else is effected, thank you for your response and if you can think of anything else to check would be appriciated, I will update when I have somthing more

Best regards
