Problem with Horn...ooo eerrr

[mchenryg]

Hey all. I got in a difficult situation on the nearside of a 4x4 and then realised my horn didnt work to let them know I was there. A good rev of the engine made them aware, but I have no idea about the horn. Is it a popular problem and one that I could easily fix. I really am just learning about the mechanics so any help will be appreciated.

Hi there Giles. Not sure if it is a regular problem with TVR's, but the system is very simple.

Firstly, I would suggest you check the fuse (number 3) as this one is also for the fans, this would also be the easiest solution. If the fuse is intact, pop the centre button out of the steering wheel and check that all the connections/wire are intact and as they should be. If they are okay, then remove the front grill and have a look at the horns, make sure they are connected.

Failing all that, you will then need to check all the wiring between the button & the horns.

Have you had the steering wheel off recently?

Mine was on and off a couple of times not long after I first bought it and the wire that connects into the back of the horn button had broken by the spade connector.

I have only had her a couple of days so I have no idea if the wheel has been off a few times. I will check the fuse and wiring this evening, Many thanks
