2007 280 EC Horn Not Working.?.

aferretti3

I was wondering if someone could help me out....I bought a 2007 280 EC this past July. The horn was not working when I bought it. Any ideas of how to test whether it is a bad horn, bad wiring or is there a separate fuse for it?? Thanks in advance for any help you can give! This is my first time posting anything...Looking forward to joining in more discussions with all of you.

Welcome, most of the time the contacts inside the horn get corroded it easy to take apart and clean the contact with a piece of sandpaper when putting it back together used a bit of silicone to seal where the wires goes thru.inside the horn. At the same time you could check if there is 12volts at the contact while somebody push the horn button. 
Good luck.
