mk2 gti horns stuck on
« on: 25 September 2011, 13:42 »
Hi Need help please!  :cry: My horns sound when I try to put the steering wheel back on without me pressing it when contacting it to the colum. Ive tried a curcuit tester on the wires to the horn and they are both live??? thanks in advance.

My vote is for horn stuck on.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Simple really, its like a light bulb and two wires once the battery has a postive and negative it creates the open circuit.
You take away one side it would be called a switch or closed circuit. You need to see if the horn is somewhere stuck open i.e the connection at the horm itself or the pusher is stuck connected. Reading your posts the push switch makes no difference so I would just either replace the horn itself or test it out if you can make it honk by by passing a seperate positive and negative battery feed to test it! Hope that made sense? There can only be three things wrong horn, wires touching, push button touching. Thats all there is to it really. Open or closed noise or no noise.

Mine did this, it will be the threads gone on the screw holes that hold your stalk set to the metal plate. My solution was to remove the screws and find identical ones with a courser thread.
