ok.. actually, i have this problem all the while but just too lazy to send in and get it check..i realise the problem for the first time when i went back to kl .....

 

when i travel at high speed, let's say above 150km/h, very high chance my horn sound by itself... i have to press the horn to stop it... it seems to be due to vibration which causes short circuit somewhere to activate my car horn..... i cannot replicate and wont know when it will come but if i continue to travel at 150 and above, once a while, the horn sounds.. can be a few times if i maintained at high speed but sometimes, it doesnt have problem... not sure is it due to my wiring or the steering problem....

 

i change to magnum2 horn the very first day of car collection... quite sure it is due to lousy wiring work.... anyone has experience and think otherwise? [:p]

hello blackyv, to sidetrack a little bit on magnum2 horn, can i know if the installation of magnum void the warranty of your car? Cos I am contemplating on whether to install it or not.

 

Sorry for not being able to advice you on your problem as I'm a noob too. [:/] Let's hope the gurus come in soon to help point out your problem [thumbsup]

i was hoping for someone to come in and tell me otherwise or other possibility.... [laugh]

 

even if i let someone help me fix i, i wont know has it been fixed or not IF i dont speed and i wont go to that lvl of speed in singapore.., so, the last thing i want is i paid someone to fix it, thinking it's fixed but realised it's not a few mth later...then i have to waste time again to get it fxi and history repeats itself... [laugh]

 

in fact, i can live with it since it wont happen in singapore.. only happen on NSHW but at that speed, who really cares or can hear the horn [:p] ....

Frankly have not come across a car horn circuit without relay in place unless the horn is using very minute amp which is not be succficient powered to activate the coil.Allowing heavy current to pass directly via steering horn switch will definetly cause burn to the contact point.

If you have to press your horn to stop it, it sounds like a sticky contact somewhere under steering wheel.

Under vibration at high speed, it touch the contact and sound the horn.

 

You can look at steering wheel horn contact first, possibly clean and lubricate.
