Got no Horn

Post by sydny-punka »

Hi there

Wondering if any you nice peeps can assist please.

Had a new front upper body panel put on our 2.1l petrol caravelle a while back , and on picking it up the horn
was not working. The lads had a look at the steering column but to no avail..

All fuses seem to be okay. What things can I check please to know if it needs replacing or I can have a tinker
myself...?

Kind reagards

Check that the earth lead hasn't been knocked off its spade down at the bottom of the shaft. It provides the electrical path past the rubber joint.
