My horn doesn't work on my stilo does anyone know how to fix and what would I do to fix it plz.thanks
None of that makes any difference, stestilo - it'll be the same horn.
Take the wheelarch liner out on the driver's side (assume RHD) and you can see the horn. Check the connections, and test the horn by dabbing the + terminal with a length of wire straight from the battery. If it honks, you know the fault is in the wiring and you just need to trace back through relays, fuses and switches.
(to test the relay, look for an identical one in the fusebox and temporarily swap them. If your horn suddenly works but your wipers suddenly don't, it's the relay)
Thanks Ralph.
I've ordered and just received Bosch horn(s) from Carparts4less. Unfortunately, they don't come with the plastic connector socket that's on the original (despite selecting the specific vehicle via Reg No on their system).
Presumably, if I want to fit one of these (the original is just one low tone horn), I'll have to cut the original wiring plastic block off and crimp suitable female connectors to the original wiring?
The instructions talk about 1) Horn switches negative, 2) Horn switches positive. What do I need to do to take this into account? Would I just push the newly crimped connectors onto the two terminals randomly, try the horn and reverse the connections if it doesn't work?
