Hi The cars horn has stopped working & i need some ideas…
iv tested the switches in the steering wheel & when pressed they have power... then tested the wire going to the horn & its got no power so thought it may have been a fuse but after taking every fuse out they seem fine… so I need to know witch fuse if for the horn & any other action to take Cheers for your help

 

have you tried giving the horns a +ve supply to confirm they actually work?

 

On mine it was water in horns....

 

Think ya self lucky my horn sounds like road runner

 

milkman my sounds strange too... even though I bough complete new set from Ford 2 years ago...

 

I'm scared to use mine incase people start laughing at me

 

like damo says,just run a live and earth from the battery to the horn and see if it works for a start

 

Yeah mine goes meep meep roadrunner style aswell

 

I thought it was just mine!! Im scared to use mine its that bad!! Are they all like this then??

 

The reason they are making funny noises is because the horns are a pair, ie there is a high pitch and a low pitch, when one or the other fails, they will sound odd, they need to both be working at the same time as they need to be in "harmony"

 

Ahhh, looks like a job for tommorow then.

Cheers.

 

1st of thanks for your replies

iv tested the horns & 1 is working & the other is not... i take it from the replys that i should only need 1 to even get some sound & not both??

any other ideas??

cheers

 

clean the earths too, being exposed to the elements, its a common fault with any electrical item on a car.

 

The horns earth through the bracket / bolt fixing them to the body, as above, take it all off clean up etc

 

iv given the bracket + bolt a light sanding & still no joy
i then ran a direct live from the battery to the top horn & it worked.
is it the same fuse as the wipers??

thanks for the replies

 

electrical fault then... try kchecking circuit under steering colum shroud, to remove steering wheel as possible fault

 

oh well i will look at the steering column tonight.. iv already taken the surround off so shouldnt take to long

thanks

 

problem solved thanks for all your help

it was caused by 1 of the brass pin's on the indicator stalk getting jammed in

still all solved now
