xat44 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- wife came home from work this evening about ten saying the horn keeps beeping. i thought she must be accidently hitting the steering wheel buttons. we have only had the td5 a few weeks now, so basically ignored her. well i`ve finally pulled the fuse and relay for the horn after waking up the neighbourhood for the second time this evening. once at 1am and just now. now i`m wide awake and can`t get back to sleep. guess i`ll be rooting round the steering column in a few hours with my avo. if its happened to any one else and theres some where else i should be looking. let me know. ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&S Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 My button on the steering wheel stuck in and would go off with the slightest movement of teh wheel (turning etc). Never happened when parked up though... Still, pop the buttons out and have a look, push them back in and hopefully all will be well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xat44 Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 ok, thanks for the tip. so to remove the switches do i gently prize the steering wheel cover of, or prize them out individually? hopefully this can be done without setting the air bag off. have already fiddled around with the wiring but typically can`t get it to misbehave. going to leave the fuse out tonight if not convinced the problems sorted.

bear Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Hi, Had exactly the same problem and as M&S found it was simply a stuck horn button. They are much easier to knock being on the steering wheel than on the indicator stalk like my old 200tdi. Regards, Bear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M&S Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Mine prized out easily. You shouldn't need to remove the steering wheel or touch the airbag. Hopefully that's it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
