Cheers, already replaced the clock spring with a brand new one, and the fuse and relay too. Made no difference. But I’m booked into an auto electrician next week so fingers crossed they sort it.
Is that the part under the clock spring when it’s in situ? I did have a look at that but couldn’t see how to remove it. Admittedly it was getting dark when I looked at that. They a cheap replacement?
As daft as it sounds check the wires behind and under the battery tray they rub on the tray then split mine had four broke wires thers wen i bought her repaired them fixed around 8 fault codes mainly abs/ac plus a few others car ran fine just had intermittent faults turned out to be the wires
Check all the way from were them wires are at the back of the tray to the fuse box in the engine bay
Think so mate never had one apart but i want to do an mk6 r steering wheel upgrade so u need the wheel clock spring and control module the the new module coded to ur car basically copy ur module settings to the new one so i know they allwork together threw some research
That’s a good shout. Hadn’t thought about that. I’ll go out and have a look now. Thanks for the heads up mate.
Hey OP any updates? I have the same issue, every fuse in the car is fine. We tested every relay and no problems.
New clock spring, when we give the horns 12v they work.
Last thing I can think is a wire got damaged while I was driving?

Not as yet mate. Booked in for 9am tomorrow at an auto electrician to hopefully find the cause. Mines the same, changed fuses, relay, clock spring and tested the horns with direct power (they’re loud on a bench) but nothing from the steering wheel. Will update tomorrow once I’ve been.
Please update. I got the code now 01426 - Controls in steering wheel. I wonder if the model died.
Also I see now my sunroof is abit suspect for leaks.
Look forward to hearing. I will also post my findings
Soooooo I’ve just got back from the auto electrician and am pleased to say it’s sorted. Turned out I didn’t need to replace the fuse, relay or clock spring as it turned out to be a break in a wire behind the relay. Obviously not something I could’ve spotted with my diagnostic tool as theirs was a propa in depth one. Basically where you remove the cover to access your OBD port the relays sit in there and it’s a wire that feeds to/from the relay that had a break in it. He bypassed that wire and all good. I’m now road legal again ?. MOT booked for the 15th so all good. Appreciate all the replies to this thread, you’re a top bunch ??
That's awesome news. I'll have a look at mine and see if I have the same issue.
Thanks for the update
Thanks for the update
I have the same problem as described here. First I checked the fuse was fine, it was. Then I move the bumper and horn, put a multimetre on the connectors and got my wife to push the horn down. Voltage increased and so I think the wiring is fine. Tested the horn directly on a battery and got nothing, continuity test also gave me nothing so I concluded that the horn was shägged. All fairly easy.
The biggest problem has been trying to find a new replacement horn! I've just shelled out for a pair of Hella horns even though my car has only one (unless another one is hiding somewhere obscure). I have searched eBay for all the references printed on the thing but came up with very little. Plenty of results for the Altea and the Leon even the Ibiza II but hardly any for an Ibiza IV. I also searched FIAMM and found references for the AM80S-R but most with spade terminal connections and most sold.
I have crossed my fingers that one of the horns in the set will work. It still bugs me which is how I came upon this site and this thread. If anyone is interested I'll post again with an update and part references next week.

Well I received the new pair of horns from Hella (one high and one low), decided to fit the high one because that is how the old one was designated and everything worked out. It sounds a bit weedy but it's a small car so I suppose this is normal and I have a spare low horn now for next time. Total cost was €25.
