Hi all
I having a problem with the indicators and push horn, it happens often, then it stops again, but its been off for days now... the indicator buzzes from the relay but when I check the hazards still work! This is so bad as other drivers think I'm being arrogant and a road hog then
full beem still works but not the indicators or the horn?.? I guess it's loose wiring, but would this mean removing all the steering wheel? And is it hard to do?
Please help
Thank you

Raseeda,
Di you have any luck with the horn?
I have the same problem. I've pulled the relay out, given it a quick sand on contacts and checked the fuse.
Still no joy. Any takers?>

Just the horn? Could be the contact between the steering wheel and the steering column, or the wire came off the push button
