Horn Relay help for G60 - 53 (fixed)

[philie 0]

Hi guys,

Just a quick one has any one got a pic and a list of relays needed for a g60.My horns are not working and looking at a diagram I got position 11 is for the horns but there is nothing there on my car and I dont know what sort of relay to get for it, a picture of the fuse box would be great if someone has it so I can make sure im not missing anything else and that all the correct relay's are there.

 

Thanks.

its unusual for a relay to go, or just soley to be used for the horn. Im in turkey so cant help much at the mo.

 

I assume you have checked the fuse itself. Try the wiring into the fuse board. And there is a connection near the battery which looks the same as the one to the fog lights.

 

You should have 12v all the time on the live wire.

 

If you use the search, an old thread of mine should come up i think. Mine turned out to be a fault in the wiring after the connection near the battery.

I am getting 12v and the horns which is good.The relay is not bad I dont actually think its there i found a fusebox wiring diagram and it said posittion 11 on the relays is for the horn my position 11 is empty so im wondering what type of relay goes there or are all relays the same?

Yep that's correct, it's a number 53 and should be mounted upside down, the relay in position 10 is also a 53 so you can move that accross one to test. New ones are around a fiver from VW but you'll probably find it under the seat.

 

Fuse number 13 controls this circuit and the switch works by taking a live from the steering column switch plugs and earthing through the column itself to complete the circuit and activate the relay.

The relay was in position 9 all along.The muppett that I bought this car off really messed with it.

Ah well done, yeah I think 9 should be empty but will check and confirm.
