2004 2.0 Horn not working - Thingybob81
Hi everybody, I have a problem with my BMW 318ci, the horn does not appear to be working, have checked the relay which appears to click everytime the button is pressed and the fuses appear to be alright.

Went to my mechanic who seems to think it is the horn, and asked to replace it, however the car has two horn's, surely they cannot both have become faulty. One other thing the last time I used it, it died a slow death!!! meaning that it was like someone was turning the volume/amplitude down.

Thanks in advance.

Check for a feed to the horn/horns use a bulb tester & get somebody to press the horn does it light up?

Might be a simple dirty connection or earth.

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
