Horn trouble

The horn on my black shorty has been bodged so just trying to sort it. Where does the circuit wires run as at current im getting nothing down at the horns and the yellow wire going into the steering wheel has nothing either. A bit of help on tracing the path would be nice if someone knows the circuit :)

 

Cheers

stupid question but did you check the fuse in the engine bay? (large fuse box 10amp), there is also a relay in there as well.

yep done the fuse all good didnt check the relay though. I figure someone previous was too lazy to fix it properly so they just bodged a switch into some new wiring.

Check the relay bud, might be that and someone missed it last time around, my first zed someone had wiggled the top of the relay off and stuck some paper between where it contacts when you press the horn button stopping it working.

 

Think the service manual covers the horn, i shall have a scan for you see if i can find anything.

Had a think what the problem was on mine, I took the steering wheel and clockspring off, the cable had snapped right next to the connector due to years of turning. maybe worth a look?

Ah yes will get back on it tomorrow in my theory it seems to be around the steering wheel area but could be wrong. Whats the windscreen place as well in Lincoln Baz as im gonna need a new one.

Well replaced the relay with a known good one and still no joy but i did get distracted deleting the AIVs and replacing the wings.

Ah that may help matters ill have a bash at it tomorrow as long as i dont get distracted

Sorted this today it was an open circuit from the connector under the steering wheel to the relay so had to route in a new wire what a job it was

heard plenty of beeps coming from your unit so guess you had fixed it :)
