Hi,

I wonder if anyone has any ideas of where i can look to sort out this problem.

My LT failed its MOT on the horn not working (i heard him sound it once and then it didnt work again).

I changed the horn and have tested it on the battery - and the horn works.

The volt meter reads 11 odd volts when the horn button is pressed - measured at the terminals of the horn.

Im guessing there is a dodgy earth or a poor connector.

Has anyone got any ideas of where to look first? Any common faults?

Cheers,

Ringo

bottom of the steering column is an earth (like on the 25's) check there

Thanks guys. It's started working again but I'll give that earth crown a clean anyway.
