My horn has never worked on my au xr8,the other buttons work on the steering wheel and i dont have an airbag warning light showing which tells me the clockspring should be ok and feeding power to the wheel accessories,does this mean my actual horn mechanism is stuffed in the airbag?
I have another airbag already but just wanted to check before i change it unnecessarilly(spelling) cheers |

Start with the easy/cheap things first. Check that you are getting power to the horn with the horn pressed.

Yes I'd check the horn itself first.

Check the fuse, see if the wires are actually connected at the horn terminals.
Ive had to do that as my horn pad contacts are worn into staying on. |

I now have a big dodgy sounding horn...
Seriously though,i have no need to carry spare jocks with me now when i drive,ive had around 20 near accidents with people trying to hit my car and with no horn to warn them off its been a real worry especially with an 8 week old baby in the back seat to worry bout now! |
