Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / September 2005405 Horn - does it only work with engine running
The horn on my daughter's '89 405 (petrol) will only operate with the engine running. With the ignition on, pressing the horn button will operate a relay and dim the dash lights but the horn doesn't work. Is that normal for these cars? Well, it is French........ I don't want to start pulling the electrics apart for no reason. The Haynes manual electrical diagrams aren't a lot of use as they don't cover her car. Some parts do, soem don't.

The behaviour of my car is: a) Horn and flash lights work with and without ignition. b) Pushing the horn button (on the top end of the direction lever) does not switch any relay c) Pulling the lever gives flash light, if the front light is off d) When lights are on, flash light does not work, but switches to high beam (so you have to switch to low beam again) Hope this helps, Gerd. > The horn on my daughter's '89 405 (petrol) will only operate with the > engine running. Find the horn, clean the contacts, ensure a good earth. Seems like a poor earth which is being overcome by the extra power from the alternator whilst the engine is running. DaveK. Thanks gents. I suspected that it should work with the engine off. I shall look into it. Regards Ron > The horn on my daughter's '89 405 (petrol) will only operate with the > engine running.
