Horn not working

Post by jaydeluxe »

It's a MPi Mini. SRS light is working as normal. I don't think it's the yoke in the steering wheel as when I press the horn button there's a electrical/mechanical clicking sound from the dash and when the yoke in the wheel broke previously the SRS light stayed on all the time.

Could it be a fuse? If so, which one? If not, what?

Thanks!

Paul's been doing no end of work on my Mini. But I'm nearly broke and I would like to try to save some money by fixing little things where and when I can.

Any ideas on what it could be?

Hi the clicking noise behind the dash is probably the relay which means the button on the steering is working. You will have to see if your horn has one or two wires going on to it. If you have a volt meter or test light check the wires for power when the button is pressed. If you want to ring me when your doing it and I'll talk you though it my number is 0872602700.

Thanks for the pointers. I do have a multimeter in the shed. Will give it a look in the morning.

The horn is also operated by the alarm, if the alarm operates it then then its the switch or connector on the wheel. If it doesn't operat it than its the horn ,relay or fuse B6.
