Unhappy

What passes for horns on my 95WRX have ceased functioning. Horns are OK if connected direct to the battery, fuses appear to be OK. Connectors in the Nardi steering wheel are OK (but no voltage on either). anyone come across the problem? The slip-ring on the steering wheel which presumably feeds the voltage to the horn button also has no volts present. Any ideas gratefully accepted.

Cheers

Dave

Could be an earthing problem, had a similar prob with my Momo onto my old MkII Golf a little while ago, the earth wasnt in contact with the wheel properly (Usually behind the copper plate), if you run a seperate earth to the chassis that may cure it, then you'll have to trace the wires into the wheel to find the problem, if thats what it is!

My relays are in the Fuse box (93WRX). Also, there is no earth on the Horn, its a closed circuit, I think.

p.s changing the horn was my first Mod

Thumbs up

Thanks Guys

Guess I'll hunt the relay, any idea which one it is in the relay box on the nearside inner wing? I'm not very good at Japanese

Dan, what did you replace the feeble tweety things with?

That explains it, I didn't think it had anything to do with relays

on my MY95 uk turbo the relay is (perfectly) hiden right behind the fuse box, so if someone needs to chenge it you must 1st unscrue two nuts (top & botom) of the fuse panel and then u can unplug the relay which is red plastic box.

good luck to you all
and thank you for your help and assistance

regards
robert
