Hi Tonya, I had a similar problem with my horn. The root cause was that the ground wire that clips to the steering column under the steering wheel horn button was not making contact (age and oxidation). I used a small file and filed away until I had bright shinny metal and reinstalled the clip (very easy fix all you need is needle nose pliers and a small file) Jere 90 GL 88 GL -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com]On Behalf Of tonya Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2002 3:21 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: horn problems
Hi all -- After over two years, my van is FINALLY working!! Now to get it to pass inspection. My horn isn't wanting to honk. There's a clicking noise, but that's it. I've tried putting a new horn on and the result is the same. I'm wondering if the problem isn't connected to some instrument panel problems. The brake, battery, and oxs lights stay on constantly -- the windshield fluid pump doesn't work -- the temperature guage isn't working -- and the fuel guage seems more erratic and hills affect it more than I recall. Could there be a common cause to all these problems that's keeping my horn from beeping too? My multimedia is currently lost due to a recent move so I can't find out what charge the horn is getting currently. Any ideas tho are appreciated. Thanks!! Tonya 87 Vanagon GL Wolfs |
