No Horn

[BioHzrd]

Right swapped over my lovly melted Mk3 Wheel for a R27 jobbie, far as i can remember the horn worked before hand lol ! ne way since changing it horn dosnt work ive swapped the fuse in the fuse box and still no joy anyone have ne more bright ideas ?

 

[Luke.]

plugged in??? not being funny but depends on the clip

 

[BioHzrd]

Yeah figured some one would say that lol but its plugged in !

 

[BRUN]

we have done a few horns on Mk3 Clios now at work, i wouldnt be surprised if its buggered

 

[BioHzrd]

This will sounds like a stupid question but is there any way to check other than the obvious one ??

 

[Beef-Mc]

Get a seperate power source to the horn and check that way.

 

[BioHzrd]

Does it have to be a 12v supply ?

 

[BioHzrd]

Bump for this !


Got the horn off n going over it with my Multimeter on Buzzer. going between the prongs gets a dead short (buzz) that ment to be the case ????

Also at the connector if i ram the probs in either hole and push the horn the buzzer dosnt sound also tryed this with the meter on DC and get no voltage when horns pressed.


I needs help here ! i miss my Horn already !

 

[BioHzrd]

just took a lead from the live on the battery to both terminals on the horn itself one at a time and both at once and the horn didnt sound ! im asuming its fucked or do i need to take a neutral/earth to it at the same time ?

 

[BioHzrd]

Bump !

 

[Beef-Mc]

Your the sparky, what do your instincts tell you?

 

[BioHzrd]

That you need a kick up the arse :rasp:

Domestic sparky not an Auto Sparky so i wanna know if my thoguhts are right or not !

 

[powey]

If its not working straight from the battery id say its dead

Get an aftermarket one like the dukes of hazzard or something and drive round the local schools

 

[BioHzrd]

Was lookin at them lol would be brill kinda want a Train horn though just to scare the s**t out of folk !

 

[BioHzrd]

any one else with some input ?

 

[ChrisLu]

this happend to me but from a mk2 ph2 as the horn sits at the front, when washing your car with a jet wash, water seem to get into the cracks... well thats how mine was fooked

try putting the standard wheel back and see if its just the new 1

 

[Burnz0]

it won't work without an earth...or at least my old clio horn wouldn't... so you'll need to a wire from each terminal to the earth and battery (i'm not sure if it matters which terminal though)

 

[littleC18]

go on youtube and type in fog horn in car. someone fitted a fog horn in their car off a ocean liner. just goes around driving up behind people and scaring the s**t out of people. its f*cking hilarious. theres one when he scares some like american gangsta and they scream like little girls and run down the road!

 

[BioHzrd]

Right Orig Wheel back on and horn still dosnt work blasted the horn with 12V direct from the battery n it works fine so what else can it be ? i tryed shorting out the 2 connectors behind the wheel that are for the horn and it didnt sound either !


Want this sorted folks

 

[rctempire]

Checked all the wiring along?

Can you make up two wires from the horn sounder to the battery and the stering wheel?
So you make a full circuit, as soon as pressed it should go beep, if not then there is a fault at the wheel end.
Basically just bypass the renauult wire incase that is a fault.

Swapped the fuse too?

 

[James.f]

Earth connection not earthing it out properly ??

 

[BioHzrd]

Swaped the fuse out first and nothing, took wires from battery to horn n it worked (scared the s**t out o me) i shorted out the connections at the rear of the wheel for the horn n it still didnt work :/

What earth connection though ! ? everything else working fine

I fitted a Stebel Nautilus air horn to my 172.

Makes a greate sound. Just make sure you use the relay to wire it up with. Draws quite a lot of amps.

 

[Gally]

Lol rotary coupling.

 

[BioHzrd]

Standard ones fine so it dosnt need to be replaced its something else thats fucked witch i cant figure out !
