Horns stopped working

Post by Emma&Al »

Hello all!

My horn has stopped working! I've checked the fuse and that seems ok.
Any other ideas?
Thanks all :)

Check the earth on the steering column - just look down and up and you should see the brown wire and where it goes, easy to knock it off. No need to remove anything. Been there, done that :lol:

The horn could be knackered. Check to see if there is power coming down to the horn live lead. Also check to make sure the earth lead connection is a good one. If both these are ok then your horn is the problem.
