Horn

[Mikey G]

can anyone tell me where about the horn is in the engine bay? i wanted to try and clean the connectors, my horn works when the car is still but only when pressed on one side of steering wheel, but when moving, it never works. its quite annoying especially if someone is rolling back towards you.

cheers.

From memory, its down behind the passenger side fog light. Easy to get at if you remove the arch liner.

From what you have posted it sounds like the connector switches under the steering wheel case between the cover and airbag. I had a similar problem and found the contacts under the steering wheel to be very dirty, gave them a clean and now works fine. And the horn is located behind the front bumper right side, you maybe able to reach it however it will be a squeeze you may have to take wheel off the access it through the wheel arch.

Rob I agree it does sound like the connection on the steering wheel but the horn is located on the LEFT passenger side in front of the front wheel arch liner. Same bracket as the acoustic valve so you can add a little rasp by removing that at the same time.

It's also worth trying the horn itself because where it's attatched to the bracket thats what earths it and when that bracket corrodes you get a poor earth. I had this problem with a very irregualar horn (no jokes please :lol: ) and a quick clean here with a wire brush solved the problem.
