no horn

[billybunter]

horn stopped working,cant find fuse,looked at the 3 box,s under bonnet nothing found,,,,,,,????????????? any idear.s

 

[doc]

Presume you've put a test light or a multimeter across the circuit to check for continuity when the horn button is pressed?

 

[billybunter]

hello doc, no not yet ,,,easy stuff first,,,,, no hobart well,worked at queenstown,on the crotty dam in 89,..........

The horn is activated by a relay which is protected by a 15A fuse, which is in the "Fusible Link Box No.2". Manual shows it to be behind the battery, should be a pair of 15A fuses together and the closest to the end of the box is the horn fuse.

So Tony, is the horn negative switching then?

Yeah Billy, I love it down here mate. Lived here for 3 years now - relocated from the north island. Can't ever see myself moving back, the family just love the lifestyle.

 

[Old.Tony]

According to my manual, a green wire comes from the horn relay (positive input) to the horn, and a black wire from the horn to vehicle chassis.

I thought of an alternative too. Put this on your rear window:

[doc]

You're dragging your van down? Well give me a whistle Billy, might be able to catch up. We're still dragging our van somewhere most weekends up until about end of April, so might even catch you in a park or campground. If you're after any info on particular areas, let me know mate. Happy to help if I can.

in my case , horn works only when i turn stearing to the right !!!!

 

[happy john]

I would blame a faulty earth probably a bit of corrosion

 

[Old.Tony]

Or maybe the car thinks the people around left-hand corners don't matter? What is wrong with this, Mr Nissan? Lefties deserve a chance to get blasted by the girlie horn too!!!

I'd suspect either a bad earth on the steering column, or a loose/damaged wire in the steering column.

Could be a faulty clock spring maybe

Clock sprin? Wtf?

 

[Aussie Frontier]

The clock spring is what they call the unit that connects all the connections from the steering wheel to the wiring in the column

Just checked in the manual and they call it a Spiral Cable

I have to found the exact reference of this cable :

 

[Aussie Frontier]

Thats the Clock Spring or Spiral Cable Sami

You would have to check but thats the part number on the unit I have and if you do a search on that part number it points to Navara,Frontier and Pathfinder
