where in the name of God is the actual horn unit on the 1981 2.0na, i cant find the b"£tard, i need to check the unit because the horn isnt working at the steering wheel and the fuses are all good/replaced, hence the suspect device search.

please no replys saying "beep and listen to where the noise is coming from, thats the way I'd find it" as my neighbour suggested, moron.

or any other ideas keep em flowing lads, and ladies.

Cant afford Viagra before its suggested, or magnifying glasses, smartarse.

I would expect it in the left corner just under the valance. That's where they usually hide.

I'm not exactly sure how it is done on the 924's....but I had an old Toyota that had a horn that didn't work. The problem was a spring loaded brass pin that was connected to the steering column behind/under the steering wheel. On the backside of the steering wheel was a brass ring that rubbed against this brass pin that was connected the a wire that went to the horn. There was electrical lube on the brass ring and pin to make them last longer.....but the lube dried up and the pin worth down too much for the spring to push it against the brass ring on the steering wheel. I pulled the wheel.......applied power (or was it ground?) to the pin and the horn worked.....so I spent $3 on a new pin and the problem was solved.

I have no idea if this is your problem, but I'm assuming all cars use the same basic system, so this might be something for you to keep in the back of your mind.

So....if the horn does work when you give it power.....then check the contacts and horn button on the steering wheel. You'll probably annoy your neighbours as you keep hitting the horn to find the problem.

Having the head lights on helps a little to see in there if your looking from the top

No worries,
Just get one of those old "AAROOGA" horns that you squeeze and rivet it to your door or your steering wheel.

Best bolt on mod available!

The 924 horns are lovely. Mine makes a very loud shrill
sportscar sound.. Anyone know the history behind them,
Were grafted over from the 911, or 914 or something.
