Can anyone confirm that at the steering wheel end of things , with things dismantled , should I have 12v at the black connector with a brown/ blue wire?
This connects to the spring connector that makes contact with the ring around the base of the steering wheel .
Thanks
With the ignition on .

Re: More horn woes
There should be a ground wire attached to the bottom of the steering rack. Clean it and check again it's what caught me put when mine stopped working.

Re: More horn woes
Earths all checked out ok as far as I can make out. No 12v anywhere.
I'm wanting to know if 12v should be picked up on the horn ring. If not , where should I be getting 12v in the circuit?.

Re: More horn woes
12v going to the horn. Ground from horn to steering wheel then via earth wire at bottom of steering column.

Re: More horn woes
Ok thanks oldie, no wonder I cant find 12v anywhere up there then . So I should have 12 v on one of the connectors down at the horn then . Is that right? Sorry for sounding like a plank.

Re: More horn woes
At the horn you should have 12v on one terminal, the other is the earth that runs to the steering wheel etc.

Re: More horn woes
There appears to be a break somewhere between the very bottom earth connection of the column and the horn . How does the earth from the horn actually connect through to the column .

Re: More horn woes
We have success. Multiple breaks and dodgy contact from top connection to the horn ring .
Thanks for the help guys
