Indicator beeps horn!

[Jon Phillips]

So when I indicate left my horn beeps!
I'm guessing its a lose wire in the indicator stalk and plan to take a look tomorrow.
However I haven't removed one before and don't want to end up in a pile of wires and springs.
So is this any easy task is there anything I should watch out for?
Any advice gratefully received.

It’s a fairly easy task. Some thin screws holding the binnacle so go easy.
I imagine you’ll be looking for a loose earth wire as that would create the circuit for your horn.
I always take photos before… so everything goes back the same way.

Most likely the headlamp dip wire, they do fatigue off. That will be brown.

Right you are, I will pop down and have a rummage and let you know how I get on.

I reckon you’re just showing off that you got a horn that works off the column. I’ve made umpteen unsuccessful attempts to sort mine and run with a switch under the dash, it throws me everrrrry time. The horn is permanently fed live once the ignition is on and the horn earths through the column via the horn button. I know all of this but still haven’t managed to fix it so it sounds like somehow you are earthing this circuit when indicating left. That would put you off turning left wouldn’t it lol.

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,good luck bud
