Check if your actually getting juice to the horn. If u are, connect horn direct to 12v battery

Hey mate,

Have you checked the horn relay?

Hey mate,

Have you checked the horn relay?

nope.. where and how?

thanks

Box under the bonnet near the drivers side suspension tower. It carries both the fuse & the relay. Check both.

when you press the horn button the relay will click. or better yet, swap it with another relay, highbeam or fuel pump and see if it works.

ok guys... another problem..

just found out that the wiring from the clock spring to the boos kit was missing.. so, i bought the wiring and connected.. the, press horn and blew fuse. well, changed another 10amp fuse, blew again.. then changed another fuse and used 15 amp instead, still blew!

now.. what wrong? any idea guys??? i need my horn back!

cheers

The clock spring??

[subie]

The clock spring??

the thing that sit inside steering wheel column and connected with the indicator stick.. so, it cancel the indicator while u returning the wheel

[GeeTR]

^^ ooh, im with you now.

I would pull plug from horn, and see if the fuse blows. If not, then horn must be the issue. If it does, the wire from the relay to the horn is shorting.

Check my response in your other thread, and try and locate the short circuit.

Good luck

ok, problem solved

thanks guys

quick question about the r32 horn

bought my r32 with an aftermaket monza wheel, but the horn doesn't work.

took the steering wheel apart, and there is only one wire coming out onto the horn at the steering wheel, but the actual steering wheel horn button has plugs for two wires

am i missing a wire that is meant to create a loop when pressed, or does the r32 only use one wire to the horn at the steering wheel?

hopefully my question makes sense.

cheers

ok, the wire that come out from the boss kit is +ve so, u need to connect it to ur +ve plug at the back of ur horn button. the other plug, make wire with the suitable terminal for the other plug at the back of the button, connect it to ground attach it to ur boss kit (between steering and boss) by fork terminal

hope u understand what i mean

most horn buttons only have one wire to them. they switch -ve an pick up the -ve feed from the steering column. when you push the button it sends the a -ve signal to the relay which has a +ve feed already to it.

[subie]

if the button only have one wire, the button should have metal thing on the side of the button

i think i get what you mean. should have some time tomorrow afternoon to give it a crack. if i fail, will be back on here again
