Lame question sorry

Post by kit »

I can't find in wiki if the horn has a separate fuse, mine has gone from intermitant to nothing and there doesn't appear to be any power going into the horn even with the ignition on?

S16 15A on a late petrol van

looks like S12 on early Diesel van from Bentley.

If in doubt check every fuse, early fuse holders can get loose I read.

Don't forget to check the earth on the steering column also - favourite for working loose and dropping off.

Good advice but with no 12V on the horn it's probably not this as the horn is switched on the negative side :D
