Horn

[kip123]

Anybody have a problem with their horn??? Mine just decided to stop working, everything else works fine, only have 800 miles on my new baby, it worked fine when i bought it, fuses are ok, any ideas??? How does the center steering wheel panel come off to look at problem???

Center steering wheel is full of air bag - not recommended as a DIY project. If you're sure it's not the horn and/or associated wiring, probably best to leave it to your smart center.

Aww, c'mon, what's a little fun with high explosives? It's not like you're gonna feel anything.

I could of sworn a LONG time ago as in last year someone had the relay go out in theirs.

Never mind aimless "squibs" of comment, just return it to the dealer to be fixed.

Similar issue in this thread: Horn problem.

OP in that thread resolved the issue by removing the fuse and putting it back in. It may have been askew just enough to affect the connection. Try it once or a couple times and see if that works.

I was about to "flame" the mod for that comment but I must say - nice play on words.

That being said, not everyone has the luxury of just popping over to the dealer Old Smart.

Old smart is wise beyond his years.
The little horn presumably shared with old English Racer Bicycles should be changed out anyway to something that commands attention.
Yes the dealer should take care of it since it cost no labor or parts charge even if it takes a while to get there. It's not as if the brakes were compromised.
BTW I inadvertently pressed the red emergency button instead of the locking one and my little Harbor Freight air horn really got everyone's attention in the vicinity. They weren't smiling. M2C

Well, yah, he is about 35 miles away from his servicing sc; it's do-able and better done before prying off an air bag.

Ahhh, well that makes a big difference and definitely I would never recommend the airbag to be pulled.
