Citroen Xsara 2003 Horn Advice

Post by chigurhm »

Hi,

The horn on my 2003 Xsara has been intermittent for a while and is now dead.

I found a post on here regarding removing the air bag, and I have completed this by removing the housing top and bottom of the steering column (3 x hex screws) and using a small screwdriver I managed to remove the 3 clips holding the air bag in place. When I was removing the clip on one side of the rear of the steering column the horn made a noise.

I would be grateful if someone could tell me which connector in the photos below control the horn, any help would be much appreciated - thanks in advance.

Not sure how the horn is activated - the wire on each side of the air bag is for the ignitors for that, suggesting the other wire is for the horn. In your middle pic there is a bit sticking out at the bottom of the air bag which might activate a switch in the back of the wheel? Has it got radio controls on the wheel? If not, then the 3rd wire will be for the horn at a guess.
