horn not working ...common issue ??

[maccavvy]

only had my van a few weeks. some douche pulled out on me today and gave him a blast... or I would've done if it worked.

it does sound for the alarm.. any common thing I should be looking at . does it have a separate fuse or relay for horn push ???

You don't say what van but clock spring Could have failed.

It's a circular piece of spring steel that makes and breaks contact when you activate the horn push. Located in the steering wheel under the airbag I think.

Mine was just a blown fuse.

Uv changed loads of horns depends on where it's been they normally fill up with water it's in front of the NSF wheel Id check you have power there first

[maccavvy]

Near the washer bottle ??? I'll. Get test Meter out and check fuses

Is the alarm the same horn ?

[motorman116]

The horn on my 07 350 is on the drivers side, in the engine bay on the inner wing. Very easy to get to once the headlamp is removed...

[Wadey]

Yea sorry I was thinking mk6 mk7 is down on the inner wing drives side like Norman said take the he's light out my mistake '

[maccavvy]

horn has no power going to it.. earth is there. but no power.

steering wheel off time ???

check fuse f48 5A in the glovebox fusebox (ajb) and also see if relay r14 is clicking when you press the horn on the wheel, if not, Take the lower steering plastic cowl off and you'll see a connector at 6 o clock, unplug it and you'll see it has 1.........9 you need to bridge pins 6 and 7 on the connector to activate the horn.

If the relay is clicking then the problem is the wiring from the relay to horn.

On mk7 the switch activates the negative side of the relay built into the bcm which sends live power to the horn relay which activates the positive side of it, the horn has a negative and the squib has a negative, bcm internal positive kl30 bus and fusebox r14 positive relay.
