Posts: 8 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Strange Horn Problem My 52 plate Doblo 1.9 diesel has developed a strange horn problem. One minute the horn will work fine, then it wont, then half an hour later it will work. It's really weird, last week it worked all week, then it stopped working, then it started working again ten minutes later when I tried it, and so on. It's currently working, but I need it sorted properly for the M.O.T. Last week I changed the rotary squib thingy and the indicator/wiper stalk unit, but that never sorted it. Could the horn relay be on it's way out ? Anyone know where it is on this model ? I haven't got a clue. ![]() Has anyone got any suggestions? It's doing my head in ![]() ![]()

It's doing my head in ![]() ![]() so it's NOT dependant on the position of the steering wheel..?? ![]()

Posts: 26,371 Thanks: 1014 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Strange Horn Problem years ago I had a car that failed MOT on horn, then realised it was only dead with wheels " straight ahead" , it had worn a dead-spot in the wheels contactor "slip-ring" , I turned the wheel upside down - so when on the MOT ramp it always worked perfectly..

Posts: 455 Thanks: 17 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Strange Horn Problem My old mirafiori 131 had twin horns at the front, which didn't work initially due to bad earth but once I had sorted that, and tweeked the adjustment screw out a bit, they were the loudest horns ever, made me jump every time just bipping it.
