Hi Chaps

Noticed recently the horn was only working intermittently. It did seem for a while that it would work once but then not again on that journey but lately it has not worked at all.

Grateful for some advice on where to start with this.

Thanks a lot.

A good place to start would be to get underneath and check that the terminals on the horn are clean and tight. If you have a multimeter, check that you are getting power to the horn terminals. If not, then start investigating the switch path. It is switched on the earth side, and there is a jumper wire to get past the flexible coupling in the steering column. Last thing to check is the contacts of the switch itself, after you have pulled off the horn push in the centre of the steering wheel.

If all of these things are OK, then check the horn separately, by connecting it directly to a power source. If it fails to work that way, that implies the horn itself is faulty.

Good luck,

James

Drivers side? or near the crowns?

The horn on my van was only managing a dull moan sound if that is a way to describe it. But got underneath, cleaned off the connectors and now its sounding 100%. Good luck
