horn(beep beep)
« on: 25 February 2012, 17:38:14 »

Am I right that the horn works by earthing via the s/wheel buttons?
Since I worked on the ignition switch the horn does not work .
I,ve got power to the horn so I think I may somehow have disconnected
the loom.Is there a connector at the steering wheel?
p.s. Checked the wiring at the horn end.No breaks.

Check fuse 17 mate - had no horn a while back on the Elite - fuse 17 blown (due to one of the pair of horns failing and shorting out)  Replaced horn (& fuse) all worked ok

Horn works direct on battery.
Only thing left is a break in the earth(got a live feed)or the buttons on the s/wheel.
