K63 relay (horn) location?
« on: 19 April 2009, 20:52:06 »

Looking to locate K63.

Fuse17 blown and replacement glowed and blew (~3s).  No horn everything else seems okay. Alarm horn works (think this is a different device).

If Mr Haynes is right and if I've read it right, circuit could be; anyone care to verify?

FV6  feeding F17

F17 feeding   a) K63 relay coil   and   b) horns H18/H48/H2 (are there three?)

K63 coil to   a) S64(a)    and    U28 to S64(b)

S64(a) and S64(b) to earth - sorry, must call it 0v.

Horns to relay contact (NO) to 0v

Where is K63 hiding
What/where is U28 - not listed in my lie book.
Anyone other ideas/previous faults they care to share.
Is K63 the same as anything else I can swap with to prove/eliminate - when found.

-2.5L minifacelift.

I'm guessing it must be one of the fuse box ones ...  I'll do a little searching ... :)

R reg - 98?

What ought to matter is; 2.5L petrol mini-facelift. Elite. Steering controls for stereo, full ECC, windows in the doors (switches). 'letric everything (except horn!).

Confession mode>
Not been out to check anything since Sunday
/CM
- but not feeling guilty yet as there is noticable lack of ideas so far.
Okay, must check horn connections are intact but anyone spotted K63?

is that correct?  I have a feeling my alarm horn is not working (power sounder is - just), but the normal horn off the steering wheel works fine.

Nope, live side is connected to the 80A fuse by the battery and the low side is actuated by the central locking/anti theft ECU.
