Horn not working

[BenSBB]

Hi all,

I have a problem with the horn on my car, it doesn't work at all!

I've tried the following:

Fuse
Took off arch liner and checked for loose wiring (as far as I can see it's fine)
Took off the airbag and checked for loose connections in the steering wheel

Anyone have any idea where I should go from here?

Thanks

New horn?

Is that the most likely do people reckon? Just wanted to check there wasnt something else before I buy one.

When you checked the connections did you clean them up?
if not, try that.

I literally done it half an hour ago and after its now working perfect.

Do they come off? I was trying to unplug them but I didnt want to break anything

Yes. They are little black rectangles, they are the connections, just unplug them and clean them the best you can. Then give the horn a go.

Thats exactly what i done.

Will give it a go tomorrow if the weather is nice. Cheers for that!

No problem. If it works post it up on here for others

just so you know, you don't need to remove the wheel arch to get to the horns wiring, simply jack the car up on that side and look under from the front you will see what i mean. just spray some wd40 on the blasted connectors, my horn was well funny actually beeeeeerrrhhhhhrrrrhhhhppp beeeeep lol, i felt embarrassed to use it, lmao. did the whole wheel arch thing, only to find that when you jack the car you can get to it anyway, but that was because i was checking the radiator that time lmao.

If water gets into the horn it can rust up inside - remove it, fill it with WD40 and hit it with a hammer a lot - then plug it back in, get someone to hold the horn button on and keep hitting it until it comes back to life or your arm gets too tired.

If that doesn't work then new horn time
