Horn And Hazards Stopped Working

[Guest h34ds]

Hello,

 

Can anyone tell me if it is likely that the horn and the hazard light switch are on the same relay?

 

Both the horn and hazards have stopped working. Hopefully its just one issue and not 2 separate ones??

 

Running as far as I am aware a standard wiring loom.

 

Thanks

Check fuses?

Check that the plugs into the stearing colum switches are not loose.

They come in from the froun of the car and should lock in.

Fairly easily seen with the cowl removed.

Its a fuse gone....

I had the exact same thing just last week.

I knew the horn had gone, but no idea about the hazards until

I replaced the fuse & the hazards started working.

 

Grandkids messing about in the garage again...!!

Not on the same relay but in the early column switches they used a common supply from fuse 13 in the original sierra into terminal H(30) on the column switch. (A constant live supply). It is possible you just have a blown fuse, a break in the supply from that fuse to terminal H(30) or less likely an internal fault in the column switch.

ps You should find the indicators still work despite the hazards dying as there is also an ignition live supply to these but a constant/battery live to horn/hazards.

Yes that's correct - indicators are still working but hazard switch wont.

 

Hoped it was just a fuse, but didn't want to go and try and fix one to find I had to fix an additional fault too.

 

Cheers guys.

Thanks for the help, they were both on a single fuse and now working again

 

Thanks

Nice when a plan comes together easily.
