does it work if you run a live wire from battery direct to horn???

Not tried that yet mate.

I am new to the whole world of cars, so I wouldn't know where to start.

I have been advise it could be the fuse?

once I get an idea what to do I will give it ago fixing it myself.

more than like a fuse mate, if not a new horns not much anyway.

also make sure theres no water or small stones jammed in the horn itself

Horns have adjustable contacts which wear out over time. There should be an adjusting screw on the horn which may be covered with a blob of sealer. Try fiddling around with the screw to get the horn working again.

Hi, more then likely it's the horn thats faulty quite common on punto,when you replace turn it so the outlet doesn,t face forward.Halfords have a horn suitable on offer at £9.99 or Ring horns at £14.99each choose between high/low note, I prefered the low note.

All car DIY starts with diagnosis, no point in just throwing parts at it.

Obtain a test light and start looking for continuity.

Simply earth one contact on the horn and run a link wire from battery to the horn. If it sounds properly (rather than just going honk) the problem isnt the horn itself.

Cheers Guys!

fuse or its probably got damp, unbolt it and give it a blast with hairdryer, then adjust the tone...if doesnt work cud get 1 from scrappies for a few quid
