Car Forum / MINI / May 2004horn
I have owned a lot of cars for a lot of years and I never needed to replace a horn on any of them. But now I need a horn for my 92 mini. Mine only chirps and squeeks. Anyone out there have a spare? It is a simple one + terminal. As always your help is much appreciated, Craig My experience with old horns on my bikes and cars always ends with a simple cure. Either hit it with a rubber mallet or drop it on the ground a few times. They rust and need to be freed up in order to vibrate. > I have owned a lot of cars for a lot of years and I never needed to replace > a horn on any of them. But now I need a horn for my 92 mini.

A bit of WD40 will improve them as well. You can pull them apart and fix them if you need to. Michael. > My experience with old horns on my bikes and cars always ends with a simple > cure.

But, just a thought, it might be a bit heavy to post for less than one from a scrappy. Let me know Karen I had a problem with my car horn as well. At first I believed it was a problem with the horn push, but later realised it was a electrical problem. NOTE: mine is a mk1 mini, so there might be differences in the electrical layout. Got someone to put in a electrical relay - fixed the problem good. Now the horn is even louder than it ever was. marc, Sydney > I have owned a lot of cars for a lot of years and I never needed to replace > a horn on any of them. But now I need a horn for my 92 mini.

I did find a generic horn at the car parts store for $14. I will try to tear this one open and fix it. If unsucessful, get the new one. I did already try the hammer and garage floor banging approach. Also power direct from good battery. Craig > I had a problem with my car horn as well.
