Horn not working?? *RESOLVED*

[S.Kayani]

The horn on my polo gti has suddenly stopped working. I checked two fuses under the dash they seem ok. Any ideas what else it could be? Or where under the bonnet the wiring etc is? Maybe it's been disconnected somehow?

edit:
sorted now! changed fuse 47 (headlight washer fuse) - cheers dantheram

It can be the steering wheel press behind the airbag

[S.Kayani]

Ahhh that doesn't sound good! Any ideas how to check that? Expensive? When the horn was working before. It only worked with the key in the car - not when the key out the car

[alexperkins]

No - just need to take the airbag off and possibly the steering wheel to regrease the connections.

It will only work with the key in as it doesnt work with the ignition off

[S.Kayani]

Oh I see. Wasn't sure if the horn was faulty before.
Cool I'll get someone to check it out for me (not confident messing with the airbag)

[dantheram]

Mine has packed up to!

[S.Kayani]

sad times, lol, any one know where the actual horn is under the bonnet?

had a quick look the other day in the dark but couldnt see it

[dantheram]

its above the lip of the splitter on the passenger side, right behind the fog light.

[S.Kayani]

Nice one pal, that's a great help, I'll have an inspection today

[dantheram]

any joy?

want to find out what the most likely problem is, i've had all the connectors off at the horn end an still joy.

[S.Kayani]

Naa, still not working sadly, think iv managed to find where the horn is, but can't see it, need to put the car on a ramp I think.

Iv checked two fuses under the dash - 19 an 22 I think it was an they seem ok. Not done anything else unfortunately due to bad weather an bein an work - need to get it sorted asap tho!

[dantheram]

I only got the contacts behind the steering wheel to check but im not taking that apart. Going to see if any electricity is getting to the actual horn first.

[S.Kayani]

yeah good idea, leme know how u get on mate!

Can you hear the horn relay clicking? I had the same problem which turned out to be a loose connection at the back of the fuse panel.

[S.Kayani]

yeah i can hear it clicking when i press the horn, how did u figure it out to be that??
