My horn has gone all quiet...

Expect its to much mud/moisture from off-roading


Any body recommend a different unit?

I think there is another thread running with some things to check,

My thoughts would be

Check for power at the horn with a meter

Clean the horn and contacts

Is the airbag light on too as it could be the squib in the steering wheel

Gold Jimny the best colour (sold) :(

Big red Jimny 32" tyres, arbs, cage 5:1 transfer etc. (Sold)

Grey pick up Jimny
Turbo m13a, arbs, floating rear shafts, disc conversion rear, vented front conversion. 245 70 16. Winch, 3" lift, 4:16 trans hd shafts and CVS

I'm here now. I think a good one is the one like this type. ebay number 391109411516 but do look for the cheapest. They fit nicely in the corner; you can just make it out in this picture (far right corner). I used a relay which I plugged the existing spades directly into.

BTW, I do have train horns running off a tank and compressor but on my Pajero; there isn't space in the Jimny for the actual trumpets.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationI took Helijohn's advice, bought a cheap nautilus off ebay

and fitted it next to the existing horn. Like Helijohn I used the existing wires from the old horn to connect to a relay (few quid from a car parts shop), put a 15 amp fuse on a live from the battery and ran the final wire to earth.



I originally tried wiring the new horn to the existing wires, but there wasn't enough power and it just made a loud grating noise. Works fine though with the method above.

If you need more info just shout up.
