Hello All,
Today the horn decided not to work. Actually the horn works, cause I probed the ground contact on the horn with a jumper to ground and with the ignition on the horn works nicely.
Last time I was at a junkyard, I should have taken apart a steering assembly and air bag, horn pad, in which case I wouldn't have to post this question. L&L.
I'm assuming that the horn switch, however it's constructed needs cleaning. I'm hesitant to tackle anything around the steering column and air bag, but with help, I suppose it's not a difficult job. I've pasted below something I grabbed off the archives related to a 94 960 just to give you good people some food for thought. Thanks in advance for some instructions to keep me out of trouble.
"Disconnect the negative battery cable. Get a T-30 or 40 socket (I beleive these sizes are correct) and remove the two bolts at the back of your steering wheel.[Where are these bolts?] You'll have to turn the wheels left and right to get at them. Remove the air bag/horn button.[How?] Remove the strap/plug from the air bag/horn button. Now take the four bolts out of the vertical metal contacts for the horn. One will have a black wire attached which will fit to the other contact when you switch them. While having these contacts removed, clean the little rivet parts of the contact with a small file, emery cloth, etc. Switch the metal vertical bar contacts. IMPORTANT NOTE: When reattaching the air bag/horn button, tighten the right side bolt first. There should be a placard reminding you of this as your working. Reattach the negative battery cable. Very simple operation. I repeated this on my 240 and both horns are very sensitive. This takes about ten minutes at the most".
Thanks again,
Marty Wolfson
