horn problems!!

[stevoibizacupra]

my horn is going off whenever i turn the steering wheel, as if i dont attract enough attention driving a banana car this is seroiusly annoying me!

im in the process of fitting new speakers in doors so iv got door panel off (drivers side) and all window/speaker wires dangling lose, but havent touched the steering wheel (i have a momo race wheel) but never had this problem before.

could what im doign with the doors have any effect on the horn going off?

thanks, steve

I cant imagine the wires in the door are connected to the steering wheel mate.

Maybe the horn switch is being squashed somehow behind the steering wheel as its an aftermarket one

yea i was thinking that as had a new dash fitted last week so would have had to have the wheel off for that, but its only started doing it since i took door apart yesterday,

a mate suggested might be because the alarm led in door is disconnected, hopefully when i finally get the door put back togehter it will be ok again!

noob question here - how do i get at the fuse box to take out the horn fuse?

cheers!

fuse box is under the steering wheel behind the tiny storage compartment.

Just give it a pull and it should unclip quite freely.

i had this problem, the steering wheel hasn't been fitted correctly! It's making contact everytime it passes a certain point.

I had this problem, after a lot of rain my problem started, i jsut tookt eh horn fuse out for a few weeks. waited til it was dry for a bit then plugged back in, all sorted.

wasnt a propper beep was a broken electrical/crackle beep. i figuerd water had gotten in somewhere.
