    Horn Malfunction

    So the horn quit working in a way that I thought was a fuse. However it is not a fuse nor is it the relay. I checked the horn and it works but there is no voltage getting to it. The problem is the schematic does not show anything else between the relay and the horn. So my best guess is a wiring problem, but I don't see any obvoius breaks. Plus since there are two horns wouldn't the other still work? I'm open to any suggestions anyone has.

    Remove your steering wheel and there is a connection there with a spring on it

      I'll check that, but I can hear the relay click when I press the horn button so I don't think that is it.

        Umm nevermind it was a fuse after all. Turns out my Bently manual has the fues panel lables backwards. When I checked fuse 7 as shown on the fuse box cover it was indeed blown.

          then you might wanna check the wiring might have got cut somewhere or is loose at some point and there is always the ground issue

              Its simple, When the horn is broken, just use those things in your throat, whats it called again, oh yea, YELLING!!! and reinforce that with your finger, the one next to the index raised inline all by itself, or just buy an airhorn at any marine shop, that works nicely too :)
