Default Horn stopped working and cant find relay

Hi people,
I have a 3.0 l 2011 XF and I love it but now the horn has stopped working, the fuse (F20) is OK I can hear a clicking when I press the horn so I am left with the relay and/or the horn itself being faulty, but I cant find the relay or know its number any help appreciated

I had the same issue. Turned out to be crappy contact in the connector on the horn. Pulled it off, sprayed it with contact cleaner, put it back and been problem free for years.

Hi fivel,

Awesome did just what you said and sorted in no time….. a quick 10 minute job. I have spent days trying to find the relay switch for the horn…jag handbook says to change relay go to their mechanics etc….. thanks for the directions and help saved a fortune



Regards

Wilson,

Good to see you got prompt advice and it was a simple fix.

For future reference, we are an International forum with a strong presence across Australia, Europe and the USA. By posting in the UK & Eire Region forum, you will usually only get replies from this set of members. TECHNICAL questions are best posted in the relevant MODEL forum to be seen by all owners and GEOGRAPHICALLY specific ones such as recommended specialists or suppliers go here in the REGION forum.

Graham
