Horn not working on 96/P 440 LE

Post by catgroom » Sat Feb 11, 2006 2:10 pm

Yo!

Jackie's 440 just failed the MOT on the horn not working.

Now then,I have checked fuses and wiring and all seems ok there.I dont have a relay cover showing which is which so I swapped relays around which were the same part number and no difference.

The garage also failed to find the fault,but thanks to those muppets we have an SRS light permanently on,but Im just taking the bulb out there,like with my car!

Anyone got a clue??Horn does work on my car when plugged into it.

Fookin thing! :cryhard:

Thanks Rolio!

So I assume I disconnect the battery as a precaution and remove the airbaggus???

I did tell her to ditch that shitty plastic palm-ache-inducing thing for a Momo!

Did you got the horn working ?

In 440/460 the horns are very weak. I just changed a horn in 95' 460 and the original was all rusty and not working. So i replaced it with some old Skoda 120 horn :lol: I think they just get bad under the car and broke.
