don't work .......... i have taken them off and cleaned the conection but they still dont work .... any other thoughts !!!??

iain

fuse maybe

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

Nice one Chris . i will give that a go

I have three air horns on mine going if you want. They work and i'm looking for a claxon sounding one somewhere...

Ta Burt but low and behold after Chris advice i cleaned everything and made them earth better and they are now working again !
Allthough they still sound naff i think i will live with em for now

good stuff

Had same prob once, found one of mine (on the 2. 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.

Well - i was in Autoneeds (bottom of Sutton High street) looking for paint when bon de flop - there in all its glory a nickel circular universal claxon horn the last one in the shop. It jumped out and hit me on the lap. Cant wait to fit this.

autoneeds is that the chavy boy racer place what were you looking for 18 inch chrome plated rims

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.
