Horn issues

Postby LBR37Y » Thu Feb 07, 2013 7:53 am

I'm not to sure where to put this..

But I need to fix my horn, there's not to much info I can give on this... But it works some days and others it doesn't it tends to not work at all more then actually working... Surely I don't need to explain why I need a horn lol

So where do I start and how do I do it???

Try replacing the horn relay, or check the connections on the horn as they might be a bit loose...

The horn relay should be in the fuse box in the engine bay. As for the horn itself, not sure where it is...

I just had a look at the fuses below 30 and didn't find anything...

But I had to move my car when I went to start it, it didnt start??
Is it possible that I put a fuse in back to front?? Or it doesn't matter???

Did you pull the starter fuse out and put it back in a different hole. 50amp is too big for a horn. It should be one of the smaller ones like 10 or 15amp.

Also the plugs under your air box can you take a picture of them as the wiring looms I have seen don't have pink plugs anywhere near the air box.
