Title: Horn button problem in facelift steering wheel?
Post by: Kevin Wood on 14 December 2012, 13:18:02

As if it wasn't inconvenient enough having my MOT falling on 2nd January, Went to use the horn today and discovered that one of the buttons in the steering wheel has failed. >:(

Horn still works reliably with the button on the other side. I'm wondering if this constitutes a fail?

Nevertheless, it needs fixing, so I wonder if anyone has had trouble with these before? I can't remember what the horn switches are like, TBH. :-\

If you have a reasonably tame tester he would probably let it go with an advisory as the horn does still work :-\ :-\

I reckon mine would ;)

Right...

The horn switch assembly

And how the buttons are located

The switches themselves look like they can be dismantled with care :y

Airbag off though, but you don't need to remove the wheel to free the switch assembly :y

Excellent, Thanks Al. :y

Should be possible to figure out what's gone wrong and fix it. :)
