Lack of Horn

Not me, the car...

I have an intermittent loss of horn and it seems to be related to the way the cover is clipped on. I took the cover off when I re-stitched my steering wheel but after clipping it back on operation isn't always guaranteed.

There seem to be two stages on the clips, if I put it on so all clips are to their second stage I have no horn as the cover can't be pushed down. If I have it so they're all on their first stage I have no horn as it can't be pushed enough, and if I push hard it just pushes right down. If I fiddle around with clips on various stages the horn sounds if I push the cover in certain places - but that isn't reliable.

Am I missing something simple here? Is there a 'stage' it should be pushed to?

Thanks,

Matt.

 
Sounds to me like the metal contact with connects to a disk on the base of where the wheel sits isn't making full contact all of the time. Mine played up when I removed the lozenge once and I just had to bend the contact back to line up with the disk again.
 
Thanks chaps, I'll have a fiddle with the contact tonight.

I was driving towards a tiny canal bridge yesterday, pressed the horn and nothing happened. A few frustrated presses later and still nothing. I crested the bridge, tried again, and the darn thing worked!! Typical!
 
might be worth cleaning the earthing point for the horns and lights .Its just under the NS front headlight pod. .Be careful you don't tug on the loom that feeds the horns though as its a bitch to get your hand down there and re-connect the feed to the horns.
(ask me how I know ![:(])
