have a day off theres nothing to the horn circuit in clios... any independant garage should do it,,
you got an airbag light on the dash?

 

[Phill90]

yeah along with the service light

 

[ditz]

that be yer problem, needs an airbag squib... horn connections run through it.

not so difficult is it lol

lot of money though,, i've put buttons on dashboards for people in the past that didnt want to replace it

 

[Phill90]

Thing is horn never worked and Service light and airbag light came on at same time the other day

Mean anything?

 

[ditz]

yeah, more than likely related..

get it fault code read if it comes up drivers airbag squib its going to be that
if you want to do it yourself pull the cowling off round the steering column, you'll have a live coming up to the airbag squib for the horn.. unplug it and touch it against earth if the horn works its that

[SkidMarx]

Aii ive always called it a rotary switch too. Squib?? Sounds like sumat japs eat TBH

 

[ditz]

dosn't switch anything?
i've just always called it that as thats what the fault codes come up as, and what ford ones are packaged as..

dont know,, round thing,, lol

 

[Josh@Renparts]

you hear them called a slip ring quite a lot mainly because of older cars with just the horn using it and it used to be a copper ring that the connectors slipped over while still making contact.

I had the problem with the service light and air bag light on mine, Its only the wires under the seats, twiddle with the wires and the lights should go out.

failing that its a trip to the stealers, cost me £80 for checking the fault and a new switch fitting.

I used to call it a rotary coupler aswell.
