Horn contacts on a SL350

[television]

Steve the horn contacts are in 2 parts, the switch built into the air bag and the clock spring on the steering column.

You can unsrcew the air bag by removing the 2 x 28mm torx screws on the rear,you do need a 2" long bit to do this, do not unplug it but turn on and see if the contact is suspect in the air bag unit, by holding the back plate and pressing the horn. if OK then turn the steering wheel a little to or shake the wheel to see if you can set it off, also tap the center or wheel quite hard while holding the air bag.

The chances are that it is the clock spring that has gone and fairly easy to replace and I can give you the instructions.

Do not unplug the air bag while the ign is turned on, or it will record a fault

Hi Malcolm,

It is for a member of another forum, and I would like him to join here as we can give much better advice than they can on a 230, I have helped him before.

Hope that this is OK Blobcat

The original fault was that the horn blew when going round corners and when parking

OK, No problem, I cannot attach to a different forum... however I will move it into the Electrics section

just to but in, there is a mod kit for that fault, got one in the van, the basic bit is the screws a a couple of mm longer giving the contacts more distance!!!!
