[scottysvtcommie]

hay my horn on my vt has stopped working, iv tested it and it still works if i put it on the battery and the fuse is alright still but there seems to be no power at the wires that are at the horn, so its got me stumped were its lost power and why it dosnt work, anyone know what it could be??

cheers scott

anyone know what else it could be ? is there 2 fuses or just the one? i kinda need it fixed soon cos i need to get a pink slip in a few days

check the relay which is near the battery. there will only be power to the horn when the horn is pressed. do you have steering wheel controls and do they work? if not it may be the clock spring.

mate mine does this in summer it sticks and i go to press it it works when it wants .since is been cooler it works all the time .i almost bought a new steering wheel becuase i thought i was stuffed even took the airbag off the wheel t check for lose wires but there wasnt any

[vtanthony]

if u connect positive and negative to straight battery it should work without a relay .the only relay i know of for the horn is the anti theft horn relay in the engine area above the battery .and there is a horn fuse below also inside the car i dont recall seeing anyore then 1 relay and 1 fuse for the horn

check your relay or the actual fuse which is located under the steering wheel column most likely its the fuse, happend to me once when i used to use a clublock i parked the car somewhere and clublock made horn go off and burnt fuse from so many hours!

nar i dont have the controls on the steering wheel and yer i tryed pressing the horn and checking if there was power there and it still didnt work ill check the realy and see how that is thanks

yer iv checked the fuse and even replaced it with another one, and i no the horn works if i connect it straight to the battery, i know theres power at the fuse box but none at the front were the wired connect to the horn it self even if i press the horn on the steering wheel theres still no power.

have u checked the relay ?inside the engine area

yer mate swapped it with another one and it still dosnt work, is there something in the steering wheal that could be stuffed and thats why its not working?

Could poss be the clock spring. See if you can remove the actual horn and from under the front bumper and test to see if it works..

I was under the impression that horns work by completing the earth circuit to make them work.

yer mate iv removed the actual horn and tested it and it works fine, is there something in the steering wheel that could be the cause ??

yeah could be the clock spring behind the wheel its a common thing with VTs.

[scottysvtcommie]

ok thanks how do i remove and replace that?

Had the same problem drove me mad checked every thing turned out to be the contacts so me being lazy al i did was spray wd40 in the cracks around the steering wheel so i did not have to remove it you will see a gap the hole way around just put the stick nozle on the wd40 rag under steering wheel annd spray all the way round leave for ten min mine works better than new now

[GEORGEZ]

i also have the same problem only thing is the fuse is already out but when i put it in it works and stays on then wen i take it out it dosnt work at all ? anyone know what to do ? cheers

clock spring needs replacing. If the horn is either stuck on, or not working at all then 99% certainty that it will be a clock spring fault
