   So yeah had a search before I posted so dont have a go :L
   
   But yeah when I first bought my car the horn was the only thing wrong with it, 1 day randomly started working, its now not working again..
   
   
   So yeh first thing I did was check the fuse.
   
   Its fine
   
   Next was took the horn of the mount and unplugged the plug and gave it a good clean
   
   Still not working
   
   My brother then tested the plug with one of them screwdriver things and it didnt light up meaning the wire is dead? or the stalk bit?
   
   Anyway my question is which part will I need to get? A whole new stalk? or re-wire some wires or what? thanksssssss

   You sure its nothing to do with the Horn itself, may just be broke?

   Test its the wire with a multi meter or a test light with one prong on the chassis and one in the horn wire.

   you mean a house screwdriver thing? or a actual car test probe. If its a house one there isn't enough amperage in the car battery to put the light on.

    Yeah I was thinking this, does that mean all wires aswell? Will I need to re-wire everything? Or just literally get a new stalk and unclip existing wires and clip them into new stalk?
