Helllp !!!

My horn has stopped working, on both buttons on the stearing wheel.

I was beeping outside my mates house, and it just stopped all of a sudden, not worked since !!!

Check the fuse, and try hitting the push from a few different angles, probably bent the contact slightly.

Hello, check the fuse, although it's unlikely to be that, it's more likely it's the horn switch.

To access the switch you have to remove the airbag and horn assembly from the steering wheel, there are two holes behind, and further back on the steering wheel, to do this you'll need a strong bit of wire to push and undo the clips in these holes, you'll find it's not easy, now you've got access to the switch

Remember to also change the three stiff springs, as these over time have become compressed.

regards
