199000872 - N020 HORNS NOT WORKING

Results of the tests
0PRELIMINARY CHECKSAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check, by operating the horn control on the steering wheel, that the travel is correctMove on to Step 1Travel not correctRemove the steering wheel and check that there are no impediments to the travel.    Op. 4110A10 STEERING WHEEL - R+R FOR REPLACEMENT OR CHECKS If there are problems, replace the faulty component
1CHECK ON INTERVENTION OF FUSEAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check that the horn protective fuse has not blown. It can be found in the engine compartment junction unit and is the third fuse in the first row F10 (15 A)Move on to Step 2The fuse has blownReplace the fuse and search for the cause of the problem
2RELAY CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Swap the relay for the horns T3 (20A) with the one for the main beam headlamps T2 and check that the horns workMove on to Step 3The horn continues not to workRestore the relays to their places and move on to Step 4
3RELAY CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check that the main beam headlamps are working. If the result is positive, remove the horn relay feed and check that the contacts do not show signs of oxidation or deformationEnd of diagnosis1. The high beams do not work2. There are irregularities at the engine compartment junction unit contacts1. Replace the main beam headlamp relay (which was originally the one for the horns)2. Renew the contacts. If necessary, replace the engine compartment junction unit    Op. 5505A13 ADDITIONAL JUNCTION UNIT IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT - R.R.
4RELAY ELECTRICAL CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Undo the fastenings for the engine compartment junction unit and check, using a tester, that the power supply and the earth for the horn relay feed are correct    Op. 5505A13 ADDITIONAL JUNCTION UNIT IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT - R.R. Move on to Step 5Relay line electrical problemsMove on to Step 8
5HORN ELECTRICAL CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Using a tester, connect to the horn power supply line and check that whilst the horn is working the supply voltage is more than 11.4 V.Also check the continuity and the insulation of the lineMove on to Step 61. The voltage is below 11.4 V2. Other electrical problems1. Check the cause of the power supply and restore the correct power supply.Possibly    See table B015 ENGINE DOES NOT START (STARTER MOTOR WORKING)2. Restore the correct electrical connections    See E3010 HORNS
6CHECK POSITIONING OF HORNSAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check that both the horn casing and the bracket are not touching or are not in the immediate vicinity (less than 10 mm) of other objects (other components, cables, pipes, etc.)Move on to Step 7Horn bracket or casing interfering with other componentsEliminate the cause of the interference
7STEERING COLUMN SWITCH UNIT CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Remove the steering wheel and check that there is nothing preventing the operation of the horn control switch.Using a tester in parallel to the switch check that, whilst it is working, the supply voltage is more than 11.4 VMove on to Step 91. Switch stuck open2. Switch power supply problems1. Replace the steering wheel    Op. 4110A10 STEERING WHEEL - R+R FOR REPLACEMENT OR CHECKS 2. Replace the steering column switch unit.    Op. 5550A10 STALK UNIT ASSEMBLY - R+R
8HORN CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Remove the horn and connect it directly to a battery charger.    Op. 5550B30 L/H OR R/H HORN (ONE) - R+R Check that a sound produced and that there are no unpleasant noises (knocking/buzzing)Move on to Step 9Sound faulty or no sound producedReplace the horn    Op. 5550B30 L/H OR R/H HORN (ONE) - R+R
9ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
The problem is due to the presence of an irregular electrical absorption source in the electrical equipment. Search for and eliminate this cause
if necessary we will process suitable diagnoses for the battery, alternator and wiring
End of diagnosisThe fault persistsContact technical service for further information on the problem
