"Replacing The Horns

 

Just done this job may save a few of you the hassle

 

Tools

axle stands or ramps

WD40

10mm socket

 

1) Put the front of the car by ramps or axle stands as you will be working from underneath.

2)Remove the middle protective panel that is held in place by 10mm bolts and nuts.These may need a bit of WD as a few of my ones have broke

3)Once this panel is removed you can see both horns ,disconnect the wire(+) from the horn .Then undo the 10mm nut from the back job done.

4)The new horns where put back in with a new earth strap ,then replaced everthing as before"

 

As I am about to replace my horns, am slightly confused on few of the above points (trust me, this is due to my pure ignoramous).

 

Where is the middle protective panel located ? Also, my new horns have 2 connections on them each, assuming + & -, I was hoping to just take the old horns out and use their existing wiring to power up the new ones (assuming again old horns each have + & - connections). If this is the case then where does the earth strap come into the equation (infact where is it meant to go and what does it do) ?

 

Thanking you all for being patient with me.

I have not looked at the zed horns before but other ones I have seen just have a positve feed to them thay are earthed by the nut that holds them in place so I am assuming that the earth strap on the new ones is to earth them down this can go on any close bit of metal bodywork that you can bolt them too also only a assumption but i think the middle protective panel is the splash guard underneath the engine I am not sure if it covers the horns because I dont have one lol if im wrong somebody please correct me;)

Jim is spot-on :D

I found that, as I have an Apex-i induction filter and not the standard air-box, it was just as easy to go in via the centre panel (between the lights) as this saves you a lot of hassle jacking the car up and working from underneath.

 

HTH

...just replaced both my horns (gotta be a joke in there somewhere) and it's easy. Access is through the large air vent in the front spoiler (I've got standard air box) of the car. Remove old horns (another joke), and replace with new horns. It's a 10 mil spanner and each of the old horns has 2 wires that you re-connect to the new horns.

 

Good luck

Thanks Jack !
