The horn on my 182 doesn't work and clearly is a legal requirement for the MOT! Arse.
So far, I've used a multimeter on the horn fuse connector and a healthy 12v is coming through when the steering wheel button is pressed.
I've tried the multimeter on the single white wire that comes down to the horn assembly and nothing is read - a flat 0.00v.
I've tested the horn (both parts - the low and high frequency units) straight onto the positive output on the battery and they both work fine. So clearly both ends of the horn system work - the steering wheel button and the horns themselves.
WhereTF do I go next? The idea of messing with car electrics fills me with dread - in fact I simply wouldn't touch it. But is there anything obvious I can check on? Maybe the area around the relays next to the battery, etc?
Any ideas or suggestions while there is a bit of daylight left would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
D.
