Technical 2010 Active horn not working
The diagram you edited for me, is that a LHD car do you know?
I only ask as as it says the ground is on the passenger door pillar.
thats where it is on my cars
its like a black rectangle bolted just below the dash on the A pillar
you can just see it above the carpet
Geeen and black is good to the body control plug.
Red and black, I’ve taken the plug out and it is dripping wet, with some corrosion from the plug, I don’t suppose there is a pin out diagram you have available?
ahh
first time i have seen a blocked duck bill damage a body computer in ages, most car have had them push in by now
it only takes a tiny bit of corrosion to stop it from working. You might need something sharp to scratch the surfaces
pin 2 connector "C" and pin 18 connector "H" should measure a dead short with a multi meter if you have one
its would be nice to fix properly but even worse case of internal damage to the internal link in the body computer isn't the end of the world as we can bypass it and connect the red and black directly to the green and black
body computer is well over £500 by the time you got someone to program the keys in, you cant just buy one off eBay and it will work

do you mean the pin 18 on the body computer has broken off
i can't see why cutting the two wires and joining the red and black directly to the green and black shouldn't work
you maybe able to get someone to replace the connector. but finding the correct skilled person isn't easy

If I bear in mind it might not work and cut the cables accordingly I can always put it back.
I will see what’s involved in having a new used computer body programmed to the car first. As you say say it’s always nice to do it properly-ish…

very few people can program a body computer it and normally charge over £250, plus you will need to supply one from roughly the same age and spec car. Annoying as it only a few minute job but the equipment costs several grand so they know you are stuffed
something like a genuine mobile phone repair shop (not a board swapper) could change the connector for you.
there are some Body Control Module Repair Service sprung up on eBay. I have no knowledge of which if any are reliable the seem to charge around £40 some seem to do component changing.
