[Dom-AE71]

hahahaha ffarrrrkkk offfffffffff

but seriously this is driiving me insane and i wana get the car blue slipped tomorrow but i cant without an operational horn

Dom,

AE71 runs a two wire horn system... very basic stuff.
Power is constant to the horn, and the earth is switched through the steering wheel. My bet is some dildo hasnt connected the horn button wire in the steering wheel, or hasnt got it working properly somehow....

Use mr multimeter (or other voltage tester) to see if you have:
1/ +12V at one wire at the horn.
2/ EARTH at the other wire when you push the horn button on the steering wheel.

have you checked the fuse for it dom, the fuse for the one in my corona had blown.

[love ke70]

take the steering wheel off and take the back off
make sure the connector in side the horn is still connected properly

[Dom-AE71]

thanks karl

ive been pretty hard working at it

now ive come to the conclusion that:

if BOTH horns arent connected a complete circuit isnt being made. thus neither horns will operate (had this problem with my KE55 when it has a faulty horn)

i get a complete circuit on the right horn wires but on the left the wire that connects to the earth doesnt want to work :S

wire to the steering wheel earth is green with 2 red stripes

white is the power i presume

but yea i still dont know wats going on

karrlll do u want that case u know you doooooo wat time u finish work

eehh the whole dash is appart at the moment! ive shorted out the whole button part so its as if the horn is on at the moment still trying to get it working

[Squid]

hook the horn up directly to the battery? it may have blown?

[love ke70]

take squids suggestion one step further maybe...if it works, hook it up directly to the battery and have it on a switch
cant fail u on a slip coz the horn does work

[Dom-AE71]

i bought the horn 2 days ago from a wrecker, stood there and watched him test is so it should work but ill try it again just to make sure

[Dom-AE71]

horn works

i now have a head ache

basically one of the two wires that returns to the horn must be fucked and its screwed the connection, which sucks alot becasue it means i have to take apart all the wiring, pull off the front gaurd and stuff


grrrr dodgy fucken dodge mobile

[love ke70]

just hardwire it with a switch in the dash. gotta be easier for when you get carved up on a roundabout, just switch it on, keep driving 2 handed and switch it off as u exit

don't bother ripping apart the loom ... just run a new wire from A to B.
My AE71 had the same problem ... I ran a new wire from the horn back to the steering wheel - sweet.
