evinX Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Would like to get this sorted out, my horn wouldn't work sometimes and now its completely stopped, ran some tests on the grey fuse and tested the horns and they all work, the problem is from the wheel itself, any ideas? I could get it off but I don't know what I should be looking for, help please Thanks, Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 The earth has probably come off inside the wheel itself. Happened to me. Simple fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you on about that little connector behind the steering centre piece? mines connected up and the horns worked when they were tested. Hopefully the sun will be out tomorrow and I can take a dig around. Got some PIAA's of my old supra that I could swap over while im at it actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Well I tried to get the wheel off over the weekend with no luck, done it before but I could feel the pull In the steering rack I was pulling that hard :S. The horns work with ignition off but while driving they don't. Any ideas? I heard something about copper inside the column that could be a problem but have no idea what to do about/check that.

evinX Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 For future reference, mine turned out to be a dry solder joint on the spindle that turns, remove the horn facia + earth cable, unplug the cable + connector, remove the wheel and theres a part that turns and has 4 screws, 1 in each corner that holds it to the steering column, pull it of and it has a cable with a small board and 1 of those joints on that board were dry. Re done all 4 and my horn now works again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
