Blown fuse?
Driving back from Mulleys on Sunday, I noticed that the horn and the heated rear windscreen have stopped working in my Hurricane - they were both perfectly fine whenever the last time I tried them was (not long ago). Does anyone know if they're on the same electrical circuit as it could just be a blown fuse? I could of course just look in the fuse box but haven't had time yet.

That was my worry, until I checked the fuse box today; everythings fine (?). All I can think is that when I had the new door rehung something didn't get reconnected up properly? - it was all fine before I had the new door.citronut wrote:yes but what caused it to blow in the first place,
regards malcolm
i cant see why any wireing to do with re/hanging a door should stop the horn from working, and likewise unless it were a tailgate you had re/hung,

Blown Fuse.
Dear Paul.
Use a test-light Paul to check whether you have a feed on your horn
and on the terminals for the heated rear window too. It is the first
place to start at Paul. If you feeds at both of those, then you are looking
for a faulty earth connection.
Good luck hope this helps.
