Mole Posted August 10, 2002 Share Posted August 10, 2002 I've made all the connections in the assembly guide but the horn doesn't work. I know it isn't the horns or their earthing (they work with a direct live feed), it isn't the fuse (I've checked it and swopped it with another of similar rating), it isn't the horn push (I've proved it completes a circuit when pressed). Not sure what to check next. An automotive electrical friend has a very quick look and said that the horn push completes an earth circuit - he thought this must be part of a circuit with a relay - I'm not sure this is correct because all the relays installed seem to be for other things. SVA approaching and this would be a show-stopper! Can anyone suggest what I should try next please? Keep flying low Mole @ the animal with attitude (well almost!)

shn7 Posted August 10, 2002 Share Posted August 10, 2002 Just possible it's a fault in the loom. When I build my car the oil temp gauge didn't work or this very reason. Try running a new wire from the push button to the horn(s). If it works the feed it along the loom into a permanent position. That's probably easier than faffing around trying to find the fault in the loom. Hope that helps. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole Posted August 12, 2002 Author Share Posted August 12, 2002 Finally tracked the problem down to a loose connection between the loom and the relay - simple really. Thanks Steve for your suggestion which I didn't have to try - couldn't face having to rig up an alternative circuit with relay and all. Mav - thanks especially for the wiring diagram which I found v. useful (once I'd printed it on A3 size paper!) Keep flying low Mole @ the animal with attitude (well almost!)
