Re-wiring my horn after a break-in (Wheres the fuse box?)

Post by XPECTD » Fri Aug 04, 2006 9:14 pm

Greetings,

As Ive posted previously, my car was broken into, and part of the damage was to the Air-Horn (Ripped it pretty much right out).

Problem is between me and my dad we've re-wired it up same as last time... with no joy :(

We're not sure if a fuse was blown or not (because they just left the wires hanging everywhere), so Ive found the fuses inside the back-left of the engine bay, but Im sure there's more somewhere that are specifically for the horn.... Just not too sure where :oops:

If anybody could point me in the direction, we think that might be preventing the horn working (Bought a new airhorn kit), or perhaps a wiring diagram?

Many thanks

I think that it is the same fuse as the stop light one, found under the dashboard, in front of the driver's door.

The link below shows the identification of all of the fuses:

If your air horns fitted correctly, there may be an extra in-line fuse - follow the wires from the compressor to find it.

Just thought I'd post an update

Turns out the fuse wasnt blown at all...

Many thanks to Kevin for all the assistance you provided today, you were an immense help and I woulda been well and truely lost without your expertise!

Have now wired it all up, its great, and Im thrilled :) Still working on a mount-point for the air-horns, but Im getting there.

Cheers all
