- VT Acclaim Wagon Series 2
Hi Guys
The horn on my VT wagon goes off intermittently stopped by pressing on the horn pad a couple of times. While the horn is on keyless entry doesn't work.
I can see references on the forum about a suspect sticker made of aluminium which curls up and makes contact but unsure whether this applies to the VT series. I took the car to a local auto electrician and mentioned about the sticker solution. He took the horn pad assembly off. If the problem sticker is on the inside of the horn pad then it is completely covered by the airbag assembly and he was not prepared to disassemble it.
I've just taken the car to the local Holden dealer whose fix was to replace the whole horn pad + airbag assembly for $650. I thought I would decline the offer until I sought advice through this forum.
I would appreciate your thoughts on whether this is the way to go.
Many thanks!
David
