hi
I have escort 1.6 zetec 1996 and the horn is sometimes working and sometimes not
I did open the 2 bolt on back of steering wheel to take out the airbag so the cover on the steering wheel is open but could not find anything that seems to be faulty
any idea?

 

try cleaning the connections

 

where are those connection
let me tell u one thing ,the horn was working properly till one day i was board and pull the steering wheel toward my self couple of time from that time that happen to it and at the moment it is not working at all
please help as i need to renew my mot next month

 

Look at the slip ring on the back of the steering wheel to see if it dirty or worn.

that would be my guess, i had one that used to make a grinding noise when i turned the wheel, one of those annoying noises, must have been dry for a while and somehow started to wear a grove into the back of the steering wheel, used some silicone grease and its been spot on since. this was on a subaru justy btw but i can only assume escorts will be the same idea
