Does anyone know where the horn connection is in the bonnet? Is it easily accessible or is it lower down
Can't find that anyone has done this yet on the forums...
Would like to put on the original hirn circuit if possible... as that's the instinct in an emergency
Some kind soul did a hit and run on me the other day whilst i had my hand firmly applied to the horn, and I think it would have been avoidable if VW hadn't put in a pathetic single tone noddy toot which is on parr with a clavinova sound effect
Does anyone know where I could find a diagram showing where the loom would connect? I thought most horns are connected with a fairly simple 12V circuit which is easy to hijack with a new one. That loom you show looks like it may require a special connection though further to what most horn upgrade kits come with...
Having looked into it a bit more, looks like I will need to find where the loom connects. Ideally I can just leave the original horn there wherever it is mounted and potentially reconnect it when I sell the car. All I need to do is plug in a compatible new horn to the socket which the current OEM horn is connected to and shove it in one of the many open spaces under the bonnet.
It's very hard to see and you can only just see it at a certain angle. At least, I'm pretty sure it's the horn! Could anyone here confirm? I can't see that it has a snail shape but it may be one of those designs which are just a sort of oval shape.
As you predicted, it is (facing the front of the car) at the bottom left behind the bumper. It should be accessible by removing the wheel well cover - which is just a few TX screws when the wheel is at full lock. Already had to open it to reattach parking sensor so should be easy.
I may just reach down, disconnect the loom (the loom seems to be part of a shared wire and connects right into the horn - so i will have to connect to where it ends up. Unless i can find where the wire comes from and disconnect it there?) and plug in a new horn, and then zip tie the new horn somewhere.
