    QUICK! Horn help

    I forgot my MOT and so it is having it done tomorrow. It will fail on horn being inoperative and headlight adjustment probably.

    I've not had a inner splashguard so my horn got filled with mud. I replaced the horns but it's not working at all.

    I've tried every combination of plugs and power supply, still wont work. What could be wrong? Is there an easy fix?

    No but I've got 6 horns here and none work. Not the fuse, checked that.

    Does the horn use a relay?

    Scrub the connections clean like a mofo, my replacements from Mat didn't work until I did this

    Ok, there is no horn relay.

    Trouble is I am now confused. I HATE doing electrics. Especially the night before my MOT and in the fcking dark with the thought of a trip to Wales on Saturday with no MOT. FFS.

    I have a new set of horns, slightly different in design, currently fitted. Because nothing is working I don't know if they are both ****ed or the wrong type. Tested old horns, they didn't work either, though they did until recently.

    I've scrubbed the earthing point clean already.

    Maybe a duff control stalk?
