How Do I Fix My Horn?

[sacha.86]

I thought it was the fuse but is still making some sound. Any idea of the problem?

Start by taking it off the car and putting 12v across it- that will show whether or not it's working. If it works, clean up the connections, put it back on the car and try again.
On the cars I've had the horn has been activated by earthing it at the steering wheel. One of my cars needed the connection there cleaning up, even though it's inside the car, so not prone to weather contamination. On that car I had to pry off the centre pad of the steering wheel when the connections became obvious.

I haven't got a clue where to start so don't really no what you're talking about. Its 2011 and indent no where I would locate the adjustment screw and the second comment has left me more confused

The first thing to do is locate the horn. It's almost certainly under the bonnet and between the radiator grill and the radiator itself. You may be able to get at it from underneath the car. Once you've found it you'll probably find it has 2 wires connected to it; making a note of which lead goes to which terminal, disconnect them, clean up the terminals with emery paper, replace the wires and try the horn.
Let us know the result.

You will find the Horn under the Drivers side, it's access for ease is under the body ( Just done our 206 It's similar) the horn on these cars are rubbish / cheap, I have tried the obvious, contacts, the horn is open to the Weather, if you look on ebay, they are a Fiver, that tells you everything, the Horn Connector is a 2 pin Clamp, press each side of the clamp to release, I exchanged for the one's I had spare for my Beema but had to replace the connector ( Not a bad job to do) easy way to do the job, "Safety in Mind" Jack up the car, remove the Offside wheel / Inner Splash Lining About 6 Plastic Plugs + one Torx Srew on the lower Left hand side as you look at the wheel, as soon as you lower the inner lining you will see the horn, if you open the bonnet & look to the lower left of the Radiator, you will see it.

That's thoroughly spoilt Sacha's weekend now, TWR !

There's an answer to that Dereck lol, but I dare not.

[TWR]

Sacha, the job is not that bad to do, just a bit of patience.

[sacha.86]

Hiya, I think I'm just gona order a new horn because I don't want to try to fix the connectors, for it not to work and have to do the job again. I think the splash is held on by cable ties :/ and I'm not sure what a torx srew is.

99% of horn use these days is road rage - you can easily manage without one.

Unless your MOT is due Canary.......

Yes, I did wonder about that Eccles.

OK, who did that first post that was removed, and was it something to do with bromide?

[sacha.86]

So after months of my horn not working properly I went out to buy a new one, only to find that a couple of days later my original horn had miraculous fixed itself. The guy at Halfords reckoned it had something to do with water damage.
