Title: Who's got the horn...?
Post by: dscam on 15 January 2006, 20:36

Apologies for the lame attempt at a witty title.....OK, so all of a sudden I realise my horn is not working!

I have tried all the things I can think of.....fuse, steering boss connections.....tried a replacement horn unit....all negative!

Anyone suffered this or any ideas on how to sort it???

Thanks Joe!  I'll have a look at Haynes and Bentley and see if the second fuse is identified......or does anyone else have any ideas??

Right....MOT tomorrow and still can't get the horn working.  I've checked all the fuses and they are fine.  I have removed the centre from the steering wheel, disconnected and reconnected the horn wires.  My only other thought was the relay.....I checked this and it is at position 6 on the board. 

The relay itself is marked '21' and has part number 111 953 227A.

I had 2 spare of these (one with the same part number and the other ending ....227D).

Trying either of these made no difference and still not a cheep from the horn!

As I say...the horn itself is working and there is power getting from the wheel.

Any ideas...HELP!

sounds like the power is being lost in the fuse box, it happened on my mates, we had power into the fuse box but none coming back out, we by passed it and now it works, rubjonnys the guy to speak to he managed to get me loads of info

Well looking at a pic of his fusebox, it seems there is what appears to be a rear wiper relay where the horn relay should be  :grin:

Edit: Yup it was indeed a rear wiper relay, swapped in the fog light one and the horn now works, woohoo :)
