Fuse ok i think as the heater blower works off the same one ..... bad earth or horn push , although the horns them self might have an internal fault.

they earth through the body so clean the inch thick worth of rust they will have on the bolts and where they bolt up on the body.....if still dead take one off and run it straight of the battery terminal to see if they work.....loads of em just die with being exposed for so long at the front of the car

I got a replacement set of Johno they kind of worked but were still shite

if the horns work great on the battery then it will be worth checking the stalk

Had same prob once, found one of mine (on the 2.8) wasn't working. Sounded puny with only one working! Mine was a case of too old and knackered, so got a replacement from vehicle wiring products. Look very similar to the originals just a tad larger.

Hahaha nooooooo. He was the only bloke who helped me with my rear brake/axle set up on my 2.8. Went looking for brake shoes - he gets the brake shoe book out and discovers i've got a 1.6 axle in. He also does Hycote spray tins. Nice fella and helpful too.
