CLK horn problem

[rsjohnb]

had my clk now for 6 months and loving every minute of it! it's by far the best car i've had but it would appear its trying to get in tunewith me as today the horn came on and wouldnt go off!! it seems to happen randomly whilst turning the wheel and resulted with me pulling in and disconnecting the supplies. i've read the pages relating to the steering column ring but was wondering if any body had any further info? my comp menu botton and scroller on the lefty hand side are also being effected!!!
Thanks for the help

Sounds like the slip ring will have to be replaced,, its a steering wheel off job

thanks malcolm,any idea if that would be a big job ie200+ and would you know if running around with the horn disconnected would cause any further problem?

PS where is beaulieu?

Cheers

No it should not,,I never use mine,, though it is an MOT failure.

The steering wheel is easy to take off ask if you want to

Beaulieu is in the New Forrest Hants

thanks malcolm, had a quick browse through your posts there you are the MB info king!

i have a machanic that i trust so first thing i'll do is to ask him to recomend a spark (i stopped messing with cars when ford stopped making escorts!!)

i'd love to come down to the meet in june and i'll try and get back within the next few weeks to confrim, are you expecting a good turn out?

what car do you have at the moment?

I will keep the SL500 230 now for life, or until I stop driving

Tell you mechanic that the air bag needs a thin long torx 30 to remove the air bag,, and an air line impact wrench with a 10mm allen bit to undo the wheell,,, all of the rest lifts off

There will be more than 25 and you are very welcome

Nice car, i'll only have to wait another 18years to get rid of the kids and i might have a chance of one myself.
Speak to you soon
Thanks for the advice
